Before the merger of Duke Energy and Cinergy in April 2006, Good served as executive vice president and CFO for Cinergy.

Hauser will become the chairman and chief executive officer (CEO) of FairPoint Communications, Inc.

James E. Rogers, Duke chairman, president and CEO, described Good as “a seasoned financial professional.” Rogers said, “After proving herself in a series of leading financial roles, Lynn welcomed the challenge to lead our commercial businesses. During that tenure, she applied excellent leadership and vision to those businesses and proved her ability to manage a significant profit and loss operation.”

Hauser, who joined Duke in 1973, will take the helm at FairPoint on July 1, 2009. Hauser has served on FairPoint’s board of directors since 2005.

“During his 35-year career at Duke, David has demonstrated a unique blend of financial acumen, business savvy and focus on shareholder value,” Rogers said. “He has helped lead Duke through some of its most challenging times, most notably, the collapse of the energy markets following the Enron bankruptcy in late 2001.”

Before joining Cinergy in 2003, Good was a partner with Deloitte & Touche. She has started her career at Arthur Anderson. She serves on the board of directors of Hubbell, Inc. She is also a board member of the Bechtler Art Museum in Charlotte. She is a graduate of Miami University.

Rogers said a successor to lead Duke Energy’s commercial businesses will be named in the near future. In the interim, Good will continue to lead that business.
