NorthWestern Energy, a provider of natural gas and electricity, has appointed Miggie Cramblit as vice president, general counsel and corporate secretary.
In her new role, Ms Cramblit will assume the responsibilities previously held by Tom Knapp. In light of the company’s focus on operations and growth in its core utility territory, the decision was made to have the general counsel based in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Mr Knapp and his family were unable to make the move, so he stepped down as general counsel and corporate secretary.
Ms Cramblit brings almost 25 years of utility industry legal and business experience. Prior to joining NorthWestern Energy, Ms Cramblit was the senior vice president, general counsel and corporate secretary for DPL and its primary subsidiary, The Dayton Power and Light Company. She also previously was vice president, general counsel and corporate secretary for Reliant Energy Minnegasco.
Mike Hanson, president and CEO of NorthWestern Energy, said: Tom has been with NorthWestern Energy for five years. During this critical time in our history, Tom has done a good job for us in his role as general counsel. NorthWestern has benefited greatly from his work ethic, insight and guidance. He will continue to assist us in an advisory capacity while Miggie transitions into her new position.
