Davies Consulting has added Elizabeth “Beth” Bartholomew as partner and leader of the firm’s newly expanded regulatory/strategy line of business, the company announced.
Bartholomew will lead the firm’s efforts in this area, working with gas and electric utilities to strengthen the links among their operational, business strategy and regulatory affairs organizations.
“Beth has decades of experience in business strategy consulting and has worked with many utilities to bridge between operations and corporate teams,” said Brooke Davies, a managing partner at Davies Consulting. “Her ability to see the big picture while understanding the complexities of the utility business is a huge asset for our electric and gas utility clients.”
Bartholomew originally joined Davies Consulting in 1992 and left as a vice president in 2000 to take a leadership role with a Fortune 500 information technology (IT) company. In April 2013, she rejoined the firm as a principal. She also has held leadership roles with several leading public sector consultancies. As the client services lead with those companies, she supported C-level client executives in planning and executing high-profile initiatives, including:
- Creating the first strategic plan for a 900-member, worldwide IT organization;
- Drafting national emergency communications plans;
- Developing first responder communication protocols and standards; and
- Co-authoring the 2002 E-Government Strategy and implementing 24 Presidential E-government initiatives.
She has a Bachelor of Arts from Georgetown University, where she was a Baker Scholar, and a Master of Business Administration from The Darden School, University of Virginia.
