Chesapeake Utilities Chief Financial Officer Beth Cooper will retire on June 30, following 36 years with the company.
Chief Operating Officer Jeff Sylvester will succeed Cooper, said the diversified energy company. He became senior vice president of operations at Chesapeake in 2019 and operating chief in 2022, it said. He previously served as vice president of operations at Black Hills Energy.
Sylvester "brings deep financial and operational knowledge of our business alongside valuable expertise in acquisitions, integrations and large-scale transformations," said Chief Executive Jeff Householder.
Cooper joined Chesapeake Utilities in 1990 and held several roles in financial and strategic-planning areas before being named CFO in September 2008.
