At NRG for 12 years, Dehne served in various roles of increasing responsibility. As Executive Vice President, Chief Administrative Officer and Chief of Staff, she oversaw NRG’s Human Resources (11,000+ employees), Information Technology, Communications, Sustainability and Corporate Marketing departments, the company’s charitable giving program, M&A integrations, as well as the construction of NRG’s sustainable, corporate headquarters in Princeton, N.J. Prior to these positions, Dehne led NRG’s Human Resources department, which handled all HR functions, including talent management, organizational development, benefits, compensation, labor and employee relations, payroll and HR information systems.
