Entergy Exec Chair Leo Denault Elected to HII Board

HII (NYSE: HII) has named Leo Denault, former CEO and current executive chair of energy company Entergy Corp., to the military shipbuilder’s board of directors.

The four-decade industry veteran is known for leading Entergy’s transformation efforts to become one of the country’s clean power generation fleet operators, HII said Friday.
