Oncor's Brenda Jackson Joins Chief Customer Officer Council
Energy industry executive joins elite organization of C-level customer advocates
LITTLETON, MA, July 22, 2011 -- The Chief Customer Officer (CCO) Council, the only member-led peer-advisory network offering unparalleled insight and assistance into the critical issues facing CCOs, announced today that Brenda Jackson, Chief Customer Officer at Oncor, Dallas, TX, has joined perhaps the world's most exclusive think tank for C-level business executives. Oncor is a regulated electric distribution and transmission business that uses superior asset management skills to provide reliable electricity delivery to consumers. There are fewer than 450 CCOs in the world, and now roughly five percent are members of the CCO Council.
At Oncor, Brenda is dedicated to creating a customer-centric culture where customer viewpoints and questions will be considered in all corporate decision-making. She oversees a team of 185 Oncor employees and, indirectly, the dedicated customer care employees of a major contractor. She was one of the four steering committee officers who led the Competitive Action Plan (CAP) initiative that reengineered the company and eliminated $200 million of expense in 1992. She also managed the Business Services human resource, information technology, administrative services, procurement, and environmental services functions. Additionally, she chaired the officer steering committee of the WINS Project to reduce administrative and general expenses.
“I’ve always believed that a successful company’s business strategy is driven by customer input,” Jackson said. “I am proud to be the voice of the customer at Oncor and am excited to join an organization that is dedicated to the same customer advocacy principles in which I believe.”
“Brenda is a stalwart customer advocate in the utility industry,” said Curtis N. Bingham, founder and executive director of the Chief Customer Officer Council. “Her deep knowledge of customer satisfaction will be a welcomed addition to the CCO Council.”
