As BGE’s first female chief safety officer, she has demonstrated vision, passion and dedication to responsible and effective leadership. Her commitment to BGE and to her community is admirable and we commend her on the completion of the Leadership Maryland program.”

As BGE’s vice president of support services, McMullen leads many critical areas of the company, including training, security, environmental management, performance assessment, fleet services, and real estate and facilities. She is also BGE’s chief safety officer, with oversight of the company’s safety and wellness initiatives.

McMullen earned a Bachelor of Science degree in electrical engineering from the University of Maryland and a Master’s Degree in business administration from Loyola University Maryland. She lives in Crofton with her husband and three sons.

McMullen joins several BGE executives who have completed the Leadership Maryland program since inception in 1993.

“To be informed about statewide and regional issues, and having the opportunity to engage and interact with leaders who put themselves on the front line every day, has prepared these individuals to be the catalyst for positive change in Maryland,” said Leadership Maryland Board Chairman William B. Grant, Esq., C.F.P. '02, president and CEO, First United Bank & Trust.

“These are the leaders to watch now and in the future,” said Renée M. Winsky, president and Chief Executive Officer, Leadership Maryland. “Their experience confirms that the quality of leadership affects the success of the solutions.
