Summary
WEC Energy Group disclosed a planned controller transition, appointing Caroline Garcia as Vice President and Controller effective August 31, 2026. Garcia, 50, brings nearly 25 years of experience from KPMG where she served as an Audit Partner specializing in energy, utility, and natural resources sectors, and most recently held the position of Director of Audit Services at TXNM Energy since 2024. She succeeds William Guc, who will transition to a special advisor role to the CFO to facilitate an orderly handover before his planned early 2027 retirement.
This is a routine executive succession with a planned transition period. Garcia's background in energy sector auditing and her recent utility industry experience at TXNM Energy provide relevant domain expertise for the controller role at a major regulated utility holding company. The overlap period with Guc serving as special advisor should support continuity in financial reporting and controls during the handover.
