Two American Water Executives Honored
American Water today announced that two of its executives were honored by the Philadelphia Business Journal. Chief Operating Officer Walter Lynch was named a Veteran of Influence, while Deborah Degillio, president of American Water’s market-based business, was among a group of honorees recognized as Women of Distinction.
“I want to congratulate Walter and Deb on their well-deserved recognitions,” said Susan Story, president and CEO, American Water. “American Water is fortunate to have such strong leaders and a tremendously talented and diverse team of 6,800 employees. Every day our employees bring a unique passion to their jobs and a commitment to serving our customers and providing them with safe, clean reliable drinking water.”
Lynch was one of 25 people honored for serving his country, with honor, and is now making a difference in the Greater Philadelphia business community. In his current role, which he has held since 2008, Lynch is responsible for the successful performance of American Water’s 16 regulated states, serving approximately 10 million people in more than 1,600 communities, and for leading customer service across the company’s footprint including two national customer service centers. He also leads health and safety and system-wide engineering. A graduate of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, Lynch attained the rank of Captain before his departure from the U.S. Army in 1990.
Degillio was honored as one of the region’s most influential businesswomen. She currently oversees American Water’s three market-based business units, which offer operations and maintenance contract services, and other innovative solutions to address a variety of challenges facing the industry, across the United States and Canada. Degillio has 20 years of broad finance experience in the utility and energy sectors, leading teams focused on financial forecasting and analysis, business planning, process improvement and enterprise risk management. She previously served as vice president and treasurer for American Water, where she had responsibility for leading the company’s long-term and short-term financing activities, corporate planning and investment analysis.
