Inside Exelon: How the CFO Balances Growth, Affordability, and Reliability

Tom is joined by Jeanne Jones, CFO of Exelon, one of America’s largest energy delivery companies. Jeanne explains how Exelon creates long-term value in a highly regulated environment by focusing on operational excellence, disciplined capital allocation, and customer affordability. Jeanne also shares how she thinks about liquidity and balance sheet protection in a higher-for-longer interest rate environment, including why going long on debt and prioritizing certainty have helped Exelon weather volatility.

Guest Quote:

“We deliver consistent long-term value for our investors by doing the basics exceptionally well.”

“Affordability starts with controlling your own costs.”

“If you have size and scale but don’t manage it as a portfolio, you’re not optimizing that size and scale.”
