JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The new managing director and CEO of the JEA on Wednesday announced a new organizational structure and who he has hired to fill most of the top jobs after a shakeup after last year’s failed attempt by the previous CEO to sell off the public-owned utility.
Jay Stowe, who was hired last November, said the new structure will reduce the number of direct reports to the CEO from 11 to seven. Those jobs will include a chief administrative officer, chief human resources officer, chief customer officer, chief strategy officer, chief operating officer, chief financial officer and a chief external affairs officer.
