Southern Company today announced that Anthony R. James, currently chairman of Savannah Electric, will become executive vice president of Southern Company Services and president of the shared services group, which includes those centralized corporate functions that are providing services to Southern Company's operating companies.
"Anthony brings credibility and management strength to his new role," said Ratcliffe. "His broad experience in the fields of engineering, power generation, safety and health, employee benefits and wholesale power marketing -- as well as the more than four years as Savannah Electric's CEO -- has prepared him well to assume the management complexities and challenges at this level."
In 2004, James was named Black Engineer of the Year by Career Communications, a media services company that recognizes significant minority achievement in engineering, science and technology. In 2005, he was recognized by the same organization as one of the "50 Most Important Blacks in Technology."
As president of the shared services group, James will direct centralized business functions that include information technology, human resources, diversity, supply chain management, corporate aircraft and marketing services.
"Anthony's role will bring greater governance and management controls to the traditional shared service company functions," said Ratcliffe. "I will be asking him to find ways to continue to increase our efficiency while providing increased value to the operating companies and the other businesses that SCS supports."
