Group president of Duke Energy's Energy Services, Harvey Padewer, has announced his resignation from the company, as has Jim Donnell, formerly president and chief executive officer of Duke Energy North America (DENA). Their resignations were part of organizational and management changes in the Energy Services and Gas Transmission divisions announced by Duke Energy President and Chief Operating Officer Fred Fowler on Dec. 4, 2002. The Energy Services group is being reorganized from a group structure into two major lines of business between international and merchant energy trading and marketing. This reorganization eliminates the group president roles from Duke Energy Transmission and Energy Services.
