In addition to the financial responsibilities including the day-to-day responsibility for planning, managing and ensuring policy adherence for all financial activities, he will lead the organizational support services activities of strategic sourcing and logistics, which include fleet, facilities and material fulfillment operations.
“I am passionate about the success of Central Florida and committed to ensuring a bright future for its residents,” said McCullion, “As OUC takes the next steps on its strategic and clean energy plans, I will work collaboratively and diligently for solutions that balance sustainability, reliability, resiliency and affordability.”
