A Diverse, Engaged Board of Directors

Our Board of Directors possess relevant expertise and skills and represent a diverse mix of professional experience, backgrounds and perspectives appropriate to oversee our company’s businesses and operations.

CenterPoint Energy’s Board of Directors serves as the company’s ultimate decision-making body. The Board oversees executive management, long-term business strategy and performance, succession planning, enterprise risk management and ESG responsibilities, among other things. Through oversight, review and counsel, the Board establishes and supports the company’s business, organizational and strategic objectives.

Our Board is chaired by Mr. Martin H. Nesbitt. Our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. David J. Lesar, serves as a member of our Board but does not serve as a member of any of its standing committees. Except for Mr. Lesar, all members of the Board are independent according to the standards established by the New York Stock Exchange.

Our Board of Directors believes that having a diverse mix of directors with complementary qualifications, skills and expertise is essential to effectively discharging its oversight responsibility while advancing the company’s long-term business strategy. Accordingly, the Board is focused on striking an appropriate balance between retaining directors with a deep knowledge of the company and adding new directors with a fresh perspective.
