Ameren Corporation, based in St. Louis, has revealed a series of leadership transitions intended to boost operational efficiency and improve performance across its subsidiaries. These changes will take effect on January 1, 2026, strategically positioning the company for future growth amid evolving energy industry dynamics.

Michael Moehn, who previously held the roles of senior executive vice president and chief financial officer, along with chairman and president of Ameren Services and interim chairman and president of Ameren Missouri, is set to step into the newly established position of Group President for Ameren Utilities. In this capacity, Moehn will supervise all operating utilities within Ameren, directly overseeing the presidents of Ameren Missouri, Ameren Illinois, and Ameren Transmission Company of Illinois.

Following this, Lenny Singh, the current chairman and president of Ameren Illinois, will transition into the role of executive vice president and chief financial officer of Ameren Corporation, as well as maintain his position as chairman and president of Ameren Services. Both Moehn and Singh will report to Martin J. Lyons Jr., the chairman, president, and CEO of Ameren Corporation. Patrick Smith Sr., who has been serving as the senior vice president of operations and technical services, will ascend to the role of chairman and president of Ameren Illinois, reporting to Moehn.

Lyons emphasized that these changes reflect Ameren's commitment to continuous improvement at every level of the organization. He stated, "This strategic rotation of responsibilities is part of a deliberate process designed to consistently deliver exceptional value to our customers, the communities we serve, and our shareholders."

In addition, Shawn Schukar remains as chairman and president of Ameren Transmission Company of Illinois, where he has successfully driven significant value for customers and the company alike.

The leadership changes underscore Ameren’s forward-thinking approach, aiming to foster greater effectiveness and operational efficiency. Lyons noted, "This enhanced structure enables us to streamline decision-making, optimize resource allocation, and deliver consistent, high-quality service to our customers. It also reinforces our commitment to operational excellence, financial discipline, and strategic growth across all areas of the business."
