The board’s constant focus on developing the next generation of leadership is, of course, key to achieving Entergy’s broader goals.

They are more than ready to lead this company into the future. Over the next several months, we will all be focused on a seamless transition as we increase the momentum on our value-creation initiatives.”<br />Leonard continued, “Having worked closely alongside Leo for almost 25 years, since his early days at PSI Energy and then through the merger that formed Cinergy, I know he is absolutely the right person to lead the team. I have seen firsthand his strategic vision and leadership, financial acumen and in-depth knowledge of the business, and he has more than proven himself in challenging environments.<br />“And, in Drew Marsh, who will become CFO, we have a leader who is extremely well-versed in all aspects of our business, including corporate finance and strategic and system planning. He is not only extremely intelligent but also well-respected throughout the company, serving as the “go-to guy” on tough assignments with proven practical knowledge to add value. He has been groomed for this role for a long time, and has the skills and experiences that will support and complement those of the leadership team.”<br />Leonard concluded, “I would be remiss without expressing special recognition for my longtime friend and colleague Rick Smith, who joined me at Entergy from Cinergy, and who has also announced his plans to retire at the end of January. We are all grateful for his enormous leadership and dedication over 13 years. Always focused on results, Rick has led with integrity and passion and he will be missed by many – both inside and outside the company.<br />“At the same time, Rick and I are both pleased that Bill Mohl has agreed to step into Rick’s current role. Bill will be moving to the Northeast, and neither Rick nor I can think of a leader more perfectly suited to dealing with the challenges and opportunities ahead. He knows the generation business very well and will expertly apply that knowledge to our EWC business.”<br />In previous capacities, Smith served as Entergy’s group president of utility operations from 2002 to 2007 and chief operating officer from 2007 to 2010 before assuming his current position as president of Entergy Wholesale Commodities business in 2010.<br />Said Gary Edwards, presiding director, “While Wayne will continue to serve as chairman and CEO for several months, the entire board expresses its strong, unanimous and deep gratitude to him for his years of dedication and service. Wayne has had an outstanding career, working tirelessly on behalf of so many and winning the respect of all, and we salute him for his numerous accomplishments. His bold vision, his willingness to take a stand and speak out on issues important to the company, its stakeholders and our industry, and his unbridled focus on principles-based leadership and ‘doing the right thing,’ are unmistakable hallmarks of his tenure with Entergy.”<br />Leonard became CEO and joined the board effective Jan. 1, 1999 and assumed the additional role of chairman in 2006. Leonard’s many recognitions include a record 11 straight years as a finalist for CEO of the Year in the annual Platts Global Energy Awards competition and being ranked as one of the top CEOs in the power industry for seven consecutive years by Institutional Investor magazine.

He recently moved to Chicago to take up his new role at Native Foods Café.<br /><br /> Miller said in a press release that he sees a growth opportunity for the chain. “Tasty and healthy, fast-casual, plant-based cuisine is a niche that hasn’t yet been capitalized on and one that has national legs,” he said. “I expect that Native Foods Café will become as ubiquitous as my former brand, Chipotle.”<br /><br />The vegan chain plans to more than double its number of units in 2014 by adding between 18 and 24 restaurants over the course of the year, according to the press release.<br /><br />Native Foods Café was founded in Palm Springs, Calif., and currently has locations in southern California, Colorado, Chicago and Portland, Ore. The brand espouses similar commitments to social responsibility as Chipotle’s “food with integrity” approach, expressing dedication to keeping “both its prices and environmental footprint minimal,” and charging no more than $10 per menu item.<br /><br />“John is a perfect fit for Native Foods Café, with the know-how, commitment and care to take us to the next level while practicing our shared values,” co-owner Andrea McGinty said. “With our nationwide expansion, we hope 2014 will be a renaissance for healthy, delicious food and that we will surprise even more eaters across the nation.”','','','	Palm Desert, CA- based Native Foods Caf&eacute; has appointed John Miller as Chief Financial Officer\r\n',2,1,'http://nrn.com/people/native-foods-caf-hires-former-chipotle-cfo','','mirania',4,'John-Miller-Native-Foods-Caf-Chief-Financial-Officer-Appointed',0,'2013-12-03',0),(373,365,14208,'Chief Financial Officer','Benita Warmbold has appointed as Chief Financial Officer at Canada Pension Plan','2013-12-01','2013-11-25','Canada Pension Plan Investment Board named Benita Warmbold chief financial officer as part of a management shuffle at the country’s largest retirement-fund manager.<br /><br />Warmbold, the chief operations officer, is swapping roles with CFO Nick Zelenczuk as part of a realignment, Toronto-based Canada Pension said today in a statement.
