A post shared by PECO (@pecoconnect)

Calvin Butler Jr. leads Exelon, the nation’s largest utility company, which serves around 10 million customers across six states and the District of Columbia. Since becoming CEO in December 2022, Butler has built on his extensive leadership experience within the company. His contributions have earned him numerous accolades, including the Distinguished Citizen Award from the Boy Scouts of America and the inaugural “Titan Award” from The Reginald F. Lewis Museum of Maryland African American History and Culture.

While it is noteworthy that currently only eight Fortune 500 companies are led by Black CEOs, this number is the second-highest ever, closely following the count in 2022. Despite these gains, Black CEOs still represent only 1.6 percent of all Fortune 500 CEOs, a stark contrast to the 13% of Black Americans in the labor force. This disparity highlights the ongoing need for increased representation and opportunities for Black professionals in top corporate roles.
