Sempra's New Strategic Direction with Board Appointments
Sempra, a prominent leader in energy infrastructure, is taking bold steps to enhance its governance and strategic direction by appointing Anya Weaving and Kevin Sagara to its board of directors, effective March 1, 2025. These appointments mark a significant development as Sempra positions itself for anticipated growth.
Anya Weaving brings a wealth of experience in the investment banking sector, specializing in strategic advice for clients in the oil and gas industry. Her expertise encompasses mergers and acquisitions (M&A), capital market transactions, and strategic decision-making. This background aligns perfectly with Sempra's focus on developing innovative and sustainable energy solutions.
Prior to this role, Weaving served as the vice chair of global natural resources at Bank of America, where she excelled in various leadership capacities. This extensive experience will not only contribute her strategic insights but also foster enhanced financial governance within Sempra.
On the other hand, Kevin Sagara brings over three decades of rich experience in the energy sector. His career includes vital roles in both regulated utility and non-regulated energy operations. Having previously held the position of group president of Sempra California, and having played a critical role in the merger that formed Sempra back in 1998, Sagara’s insights will be instrumental as Sempra navigates the complex landscape of energy infrastructure.
Jeffrey W. Martin, Sempra's chairman and CEO, emphasized the importance of these appointments in the context of the company's strategic focus for the next decade. He stated, “Incorporating new perspectives and expertise into our boardroom is essential for fulfilling our mission of building a leading energy infrastructure company in North America.” This recognition of diverse viewpoints underlines Sempra’s commitment to a proactive governance approach.
Both Weaving and Sagara will serve on different committees of the board, with Weaving joining the audit committee and the compensation and talent development committee, while Sagara will engage in the safety, sustainability, and technology committee. This distribution of roles demonstrates a well-rounded approach to oversight across critical company dimensions.
As Sempra continues to deliver energy to nearly 40 million consumers and strives for resilience in energy infrastructure, these leadership enhancements represent a robust strategy to meet the evolving market demands. Notably, Sempra has consistently been recognized for its high standards in sustainable business practices, having been included in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index North America for the 14th consecutive year.
With a strong focus on safety and operational excellence, Sempra is well poised to utilize the expertise of its new board members to foster further innovation in the energy sector, ensuring that it remains at the forefront of addressing not only current consumer needs but also future challenges in energy delivery and sustainability. These strategic board appointments are a clear indication that Sempra is ready to enhance its capabilities and continue driving its growth trajectory into a promising future.
