JEA CEO Steps Down Amid Workplace Concerns | Jacksonville News

JEA’s longtime CEO Vickie Cavey is stepping down after two years at the helm, citing a “heavy heart” but offering no specific reason—just weeks after taking a personal leave. Her deep ties to the utility stretch back to 1984, including two prior retirements and returns. Despite workplace concerns raised by a former city council president who called the culture “toxic,” JEA says her exit won’t disrupt operations. Interim leadership will fall to Chief Administrative Officer Jody Brooks as the board prepares to choose a new CEO. With rates and stability on residents’ minds, all eyes are on how this transition plays out. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
