The Official Story

GEISHA WILLIAMS
(CEO, Pacific Gas and Electric Company,
2017-2019)

Geisha J. Williams (born Jimenez, c. 1961/1962) is a Cuban American businesswoman. She was the president and CEO of the Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) from March 2017 to January 13, 2019.

Career

After university, Williams worked for Florida Power & Light (FPL), starting as a residential energy auditor. Williams joined Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) in 2007.

In March 2017, William became the first Latina chief executive officer of a Fortune 500 company.

She is a director at the Edison Electric Institute, the Institute of Nuclear Power Operations and the Association of Edison Illuminating Companies and is the board chairwoman for the Center for Energy Workforce Development.

Compensation criticism

In January 2019 Williams left PG&E as the company struggled to deal with legal and financial repercussions associated with a series of devastating California wildfires, which occurred in 2017 and 2018. Despite losing more than $6 billion, Williams received a pay raise of 8.12% in 2018. PG&E filed for bankruptcy immediately after Williams’ departure.

Williams is criticized for a $10mm+ pay packaging including $2.6mm in severance pay when she left PG&E as the company prepared to enter bankruptcy. The Los Angeles Times reported that, “Williams’ compensation encompassed numerous perks, including a car and driver, a $51,000 security system for her home, health club and “executive health” services worth $5,453 and financial services subsidized to the tune of $7,980.”

In April 2019, California Governor Gavin Newsom expressed concern that new PG&E board members would have little knowledge of California, and may lack the expertise to safely run a utility.

Williams was succeeded by John Simon as interim CEO, then, in May 2019, Bill Johnson became CEO, garnering “more than twice the base salary” of Williams.
