Dr. Hutchinson was also named to the list in 2014. Since then, he has continued his commitment to serving as a leader at WGL by providing a competitive edge through an overall branding and transformation strategy to meet evolving market demands. He has successfully led WGL’s increase in the government and commercial markets and played a key role in expanding the company’s economic development and distributed generation solutions. It is because of his ability to facilitate change and profitable growth that Dr. Hutchinson has again been honored with this award.

“The holistic transformation that has taken place at WGL in the last year has a great deal to do with our commitment to diversity of both talent and asset-based energy solutions,” said Dr. Hutchinson. “Our diversity reflects the communities we serve in D.C. and across the nation, and it has positively contributed to WGL’s 168-year long history of success. Our energy answers – ranging from natural gas to solar to comprehensive systems such as Distributed Impact – demonstrate how diversity has directly transformed our company.”

To celebrate his honor on the Savoy Top 100 for 2016, Dr. Hutchinson was also selected to participate in the NYSE Closing Bell ceremony last week, alongside other corporate leaders and honorees.
