Maureen Coveney Bolen promoted to Chief Growth Officer at Utegration

Houston, TX – Utegration, LLC, a leading North American technology consulting and solutions company focused on the utility industry, announced today that Maureen Coveney Bolen has been named Chief Growth Officer.

Bolen joined Utegration in August of 2019 and quickly made significant impacts in the company’s partnering, solutions and sales strategies. In her new role, she will lead two key areas of the company’s growth: business development and the delivery of Utegration Utility4U, the industry’s first comprehensive pre-configured business process platform for mid-size utilities.

A recognized thought leader and program manager, Bolen has served the utility industry for 27 years.  Her background includes 15 years of leadership roles at SAP, including the SAP AMI Lighthouse Council, the ASUG Influence Council on Fixed Asset Accounting, the ASUG Influence Council on Energy Efficiency and launching the SAP for Utilities Conferences in North America.

She also served as Director of IT & BI (Information Technology & Business Integration) for the generation portfolio for Southern California Edison, where she was responsible for implementing improvements to the SAP portfolio and working directly with employees to ensure their success with SAP. Maureen has worked with the full SAP ERP, EAM and CR&B footprint for well over a decade, helping utilities understand how to plan and execute on their SAP and related technology roadmaps.

“Maureen is a true visionary and leader, backed by in-depth experience from both utilities and leading tech companies,” said Bart Thielbar, President and CEO of Utegration. “As Chief Growth Officer, she will be in the best possible position to help our clients navigate the many potential technology investments for their futures.”

“The role of technology is more important and complex than ever before,” said Ms. Bolen. “With the many pressures the industry faces today coupled with the speed of change, it’s critical that utilities get in the driver’s seat. First, they must understand where the industry and technology is heading, and then determine how to prioritize their initiatives accordingly. Whether it’s driving revenue from new sources, improving financial and regulatory performance, or automating more business processes, I look forward to helping our clients deliver on plans that are both outcome-based and cost-effective.”
