Utility professionals looking to work as consultants or trade allies after retiring should start planning now, according to the article, "Taking the Next Step in Your Utility Career," which originally appeared in our June 2024 Electric Utility Operations section of T&D World.
This article, which is now available as part of our ICYMI series for the Line Life Podcast, is authored by Mike Zappone of Tempest Utility Consulting. He shares the stories of three recent retirees from the utility industry and their journey from working full-time to consultants: Anthony Hurley, who retired from FirstEnergy's Jersey Central Power & Light; Philip Wright, the former vice president of distribution operations for Appalachian Power; and Carlos Torres, who retired from his position as vice president of emergency preparedness and business resilience at Consolidated Edison. They discuss best practices and pitfalls to avoid when making the transition from working for utility companies to making their own way in the consulting world.
