Georgia Power, the largest electric subsidiary of Southern Company, and among the America’s premier energy company has inducted Kelly L Loffler, Bakkt CEO in the board of directors for the firm. The decision will be effective from October 1st, 2019.

We welcome her to the Georgia Power board of directors.”

“Working in the financial services sector for the last two decades, Kelly played a significant role in the early stages of ICE and through that responsibility has been specifically involved in investing and trading within the energy sector and carbon markets. Her latest role with Bakkt has her poised at the forefront of the cryptocurrency market.

This insight into the global energy market and her unique digital experience will provide an extremely valuable perspective as we evolve as an energy industry. “
