Los Angeles Mayor Garcetti has nominated Nicole Neeman Brady to the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power Board of Commissioners.

“Nicole’s breadth of experience in environmental policy and track record as a creative problem solver will make her a powerful leader at LADWP,” Garcetti said. “I have no doubt that her vision and expertise will help us strengthen a utility that’s front and center in building a greener, more sustainable Los Angeles.”

Brady has over 11 years of experience in energy, water and agriculture management. She currently serves as the chief operating officer and principal of the Renewable Resources Group, directing investments and developing opportunities. She’s also a member of the Colorado River Board of California and the board of directors for the Library Foundation of Los Angeles.

Prior to joining the Renewable Resources Group, Brady was president and founder of Edison Water Resources, a subsidiary of Edison International, where she developed water treatment and recycling strategies. Brady also served in several leadership roles at Southern California Edison, including director of energy procurement.

“I am excited and humbled by the opportunity to represent the city and LADWP’s customers in providing oversight of our utility, and I’m grateful for Mayor Garcetti’s trust and support,” Brady said. “I’m eager to begin, and look forward to being a part of shaping our great city’s water and power future.”

The appointment is subject to City Council confirmation.
