Southern California Gas Company announced a significant leadership transition with the resignation of Maryam S. Brown as CEO, President, and a member of the Board of Directors, effective April 17, 2026. This departure creates a leadership vacuum at the top. Rodger R. Schwecke, the current Chief Operating Officer, has been appointed interim President, effective April 18, 2026. However, this is a temporary solution as Mr. Schwecke will retain his COO role and is scheduled to retire on October 1, 2026. This indicates a period of uncertainty and suggests that a permanent CEO search will be ongoing, potentially leading to further leadership changes in the near future. Mr. Schwecke will receive a $150,000 cash payment for his interim role.
