SPEAKER FOCUS ON: Carolyn Shanks
Carolyn Shanks is now Senior Vice President, Administration and Corporate Support for Enexus Energy Corporation, "the independent, publicly traded nuclear power company that Entergy plans to spin off later this year.
Ms. Shanks joined Entergy in 1983 as an accountant with Mississippi Power & Light Company and later transferred to System Energy Resources, Inc., the subsidiary responsible for the operations of Grand Gulf Nuclear Station. At SERI, she was promoted to manager and directed internal business and budgeting processes.
In 1986, Ms. Shanks was selected to oversee the development of business plans that ultimately supported the consolidation of Entergy’s five nuclear units under one nuclear operating company.
In 1994, she was named director of business services for Entergy Operations, Inc., the subsidiary that managed Entergy’s five nuclear power plants. Ms. Shanks became Vice President - Finance and Administration of Entergy Nuclear in February 1997. In that position, she played a pivotal role in the formation of the new nuclear company. Her work with Entergy’s units laid the foundation for Entergy’s business decision to expand its nuclear organization into a national company. She helped launch the business strategies that resulted in two major firsts for the company: its first long-term contract (at Maine Yankee Atomic Power Company) and its first nuclear acquisition (PilgrimStation, located near Plymouth, Massachusetts) in 1998.
Carolyn C. Shanks was named President and CEO of Entergy Mississippi July 1, 1999. In that position, she was responsible for Entergy Mississippi’s electric distribution system, customer service, economic development, regulatory affairs and governmental affairs. Carolyn Shanks recently accepted a position with Enexus Energy Corporation, the independent, publicly traded nuclear power company that Entergy plans to spin off later this year.
In addition to her responsibilities at Enexus, Carolyn Shanks is a leader in the business and civic community. She served as co-chair of Blueprint Mississippi’s Economic Development initiative, one of the state’s most ambitious efforts ever to enhance its economic future. Prior to that role she served as co-chair, along with former Governor Ronnie Musgrove, of the Governor's Task Force for Classroom Technology.
