Major Investor-Owned Utility – Executive Advisory Engagement

The program leadership organization of a major utility was responsible for delivering a complex multi-billion-dollar capital portfolio under strict regulatory oversight and public scrutiny. Leadership faced challenges aligning governance processes, managing portfolio-level risk, and keeping program execution on track against aggressive regulatory timelines. External advisory support was needed to strengthen decision-making frameworks, improve organizational execution capacity, and navigate the complexities of large-scale capital delivery.

CARIAN provided executive advisory support focused on program execution and governance. Our senior advisors worked alongside utility leadership to enhance decision frameworks, deliver portfolio-level risk analysis, and align organizational capacity with program objectives. We facilitated leadership workshops, provided scenario modeling for capital allocation, and supported program leaders in navigating regulatory pressures while maintaining accountability and transparency.
