NEWPORT NEWS, Va., Dec. 09, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HII (NYSE: HII) announced today that current executive chairman and former CEO of Entergy Corporation Leo Denault was elected to the company’s board of directors, effective Dec. 5, 2022.

Denault has 40 years of experience in the power industry. He joined Entergy in 1999, serving initially as vice president of corporate development and then five years later as executive vice president and chief financial officer, before becoming CEO in 2013.
