For the first ten years Red Roberts led United Energy Distributors as the company president, but the new three-member senior management team is in place to lead the company into the future. In this new organization, Roberts will remain in the office of President while Harper will serve as the Chief Executive Officer and Coscioni as the Chief Financial Officer. These new members bring to the company many years of management experience–Harper from the oil industry and Coscioni from the business/financial community.

These three talented managers will provide the leadership United Energy needs to make their vision a reality.
