On May 14, Janisse Quiñones was unanimously confirmed by the L.A. City Council as the new LADWP Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Engineer, following her recommendation by Mayor Karen Bass and a unanimous vote by the Board of Water and Power Commissioners to appoint her to the role.

A seasoned leader, Quiñones has more than 25 years of leadership experience as a senior executive in utility and engineering industries, most recently serving as Senior Vice President of Electric Operations at Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) in central and northern California. She is also a Commander in the U.S. Coast Guard Reserves and played a significant part in rebuilding Puerto Rico’s energy grid after Hurricane Maria in 2017.

"I am honored and ready to serve as the next CEO and Chief Engineer of the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power and I look forward to continue to get to know the LADWP family and supporting those that work so hard to deliver for the people of Los Angeles," said Quiñones, who assumed her role in full capacity effective May 14, 2024.
