Burke has overall responsibility for supply chain, safety,
environmental compliance, information technology, construction and
engineering, and outage services at Dynegy.
Aqua America President and CEO Christopher Franklin said Burke’s
powerful combination of large energy operations experience and
financial expertise will benefit customers, employees and
shareholders.
“Carolyn understands utility operations and the importance of
maintaining and improving critical infrastructure to deliver
reliable service,” he said. “And her experience in integrating
acquisitions will help us more effectively transition new customers
into the Aqua family as we more efficiently assume new operating
systems.”
At Dynegy, Burke also serves as chief integration officer with
responsibility for integration activities, most recently for
Dynegy’s $6 billion EquiPower Corp. and Duke merchant portfolio
acquisitions. Burke also oversees the company’s continuous margin
and process improvement program. Dynegy generates reliable,
environmentally responsible and affordable energy in the Midwest,

26,000 megawatts (26 GW) of electricity – enough to power about 21
million homes. The company also serves residential, municipal, and
industrial customers through its retail businesses in Illinois,
Ohio and Pennsylvania.
Previously, Burke served as Dynegy’s chief administrative
officer and oversaw corporate functions including communications,
human resources, information technology, investor relations and
regulatory affairs. Before joining Dynegy, Burke was global
controller for J. P. Morgan’s Global Commodities business. She was
also NRG Energy’s vice president and corporate controller from 2006
to 2008, and, earlier, she was executive director of planning and
analysis. Early in her career, Burke held various key financial
roles at Yale University, the University of Pennsylvania, and

science from Wellesley College and earned her Master of Business
Administration at the University of Chicago’s Booth School of
Business.
