Electricity utility Ameren Corporation has announced the appointment of David Feinberg as its new executive vice president, general counsel and corporate secretary.
He comes the NYSE-listed company from American Electric Power Company, where he has served as executive vice president, general counsel and corporate secretary since joining the company in 2011.
Before that, Feinberg served as vice president, general counsel and corporate secretary at Allegheny Energy, where he also held roles as senior litigation counsel and deputy general counsel. Earlier in his career, he was a partner at the law firm of Jenner & Block in Chicago.

‘David’s demonstrated leadership, broad legal expertise and deep industry knowledge positions him well to assume strategic oversight of Ameren’s legal, governance, ethics and compliance functions,’ says Martin Lyons Jr, chairman, president and CEO of Ameren. ‘David will be an outstanding addition to our executive team and his stewardship will no doubt strengthen our organization.’
Meanwhile, digital investigative and intelligence tools company Cellebrite has hired Holly Windham as its new general counsel and chief compliance officer. She replaces Ayala Berler Shapira, who is leaving the company.
Before joining the Nasdaq-listed company, Windham served as chief legal officer and board secretary for fintech Self Financial, as well as six years at Rackspace Technology as chief legal officer, chief people officer and corporate secretary. She also served in deputy general counsel roles at Hewlett-Packard.
‘It is an honor to join a company with such an important, impactful mission,’ says Windham. ‘I am excited to put my experience to work here alongside some of the best and brightest in their field.’
Thomas Hogan, Cellebrite’s CEO, adds: ‘We are thrilled to welcome Holly to Cellebrite. She brings a tremendous reservoir of highly relevant experience that will help us further scale our business and support the evolving needs of our customers around the globe.
‘We thank Ayala for her dedication and many contributions to Cellebrite over the past three years and wish her well in all her future endeavors.’
Finally, two interim general counsels have been promoted to head up their departments. Edwin Gladbach, who joined cinema operator AMC Entertainment in February as interim general counsel, will take over as general counsel this month.
The same is true for Joanna Clark at Superior Energy Services, who will take on the role of senior vice president and general counsel, effective immediately, after joining the company in 2015 and holding a series of increasingly senior roles since then.
