[tps_title]Mark Crosswhite, CEO, Alabama Power Company[/tps_title]
Crosswhite is the most powerful CEO in Alabama, and it’s not even close. The Power Company is involved in almost everything of significance that happens in the state. When the Department of Commerce is recruiting a major economic development project, they’re involved in crafting the deal. If there’s a bill making its way through the legislative process, they’re weighing in. If the Governor needs help planning inaugural festivities, the APCo team steps up to the plate.
Alabama Power has unrivaled resources and the state’s largest and most active governmental affairs operation, and Mark Crosswhite is quarterbacking the whole thing.
Crosswhite served as Alabama Power’s Executive Vice President of External Affairs for almost three years. Then became CEO and President of Gulf Power, another Southern Company subsidiary. He was then Chief Operating Officer and Executive Vice President of Southern Company from mid-2012 until last March when he became CEO of Alabama Power at the age of 50.
He is just over a year into the job, but it’s been abundantly clear from day one that he was ready to assume the role of being Alabama’s most high-profile executive.
