Lori Clark (BBA'90), president and CEO of NB Power, is the latest management grad to have their name added to the faculty's Wall of Fame.

Lori is the first woman to lead NB Power in its more than 100-year history, and the first female executive with nuclear credentials to head a major Canadian utility. Today, she leads a team serving nearly 400,000 customers across New Brunswick, guiding the province's clean energy transition while ensuring safe, reliable, and affordable power.

Lori has built a remarkable career at NB Power, gaining experience across finance, regulatory affairs, operations, nuclear generation, customer service, and more, eventually advancing to senior executive roles and a seat at the top of the organization. In addition to her BBA from UNB, Lori also studied nuclear reactor technology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and received leadership training at the Wharton School of Business.

Lori joined NB Power in 1990 and, over more than three decades, steadily advanced through senior roles, gaining deep, broad institutional knowledge of how an integrated utility operates. In 2024, in recognition of her long service, leadership, and influence, Clark was named one of Atlantic Canada's 25 Most Powerful Women in Business.

In 2023, Lori received the Women in Electricity Award from Electricity Canada (in partnership with Women in Renewable Energy, WiRE) in recognition of her commitment to authentic, inclusive leadership and supporting women across the electricity sector. That same year, she launched a women's network at NB Power to create a more supportive, empowering environment for women, including those entering traditionally male-dominated fields such as nuclear and engineering.

In November 2025, under Lori's leadership, NB Power and UNB announced a new strategic partnership to foster energy innovation, research and experiential learning. The collaboration is structured to support workforce development in New Brunswick by providing students with hands-on opportunities, internships, and exposure to next-generation energy solutions.

Lori's induction into the Wall of Fame is more than recognition of personal success. It stands as a powerful example for students of what can be achieved with ambition, expertise and commitment.
