Newark-based Public Service Enterprise Group announced a planned leadership transition in its legal department. Executive Vice President and General Counsel Tamara Linde will retire on March 14, 2025. Grace Park, currently deputy general counsel and chief litigation counsel, has been appointed as the new executive vice president and general counsel, effective Sept. 16. Linde will shift to the role of executive vice president and chief legal officer until her retirement, to ensure a smooth transition.
“Tammy has been a tremendous asset to the company for over 30 years. The senior executive team and I have always welcomed and valued her perspective,” Ralph LaRossa, PSEG chair, CEO and president, said. “She has been a thoughtful sounding board and adviser. An instrumental leader, Tammy has helped our company navigate immense shifts in our industry and our business. Her keen insights and comradery will be missed.”
Linde joined PSEG in 1990 and has served as PSEG’s general counsel for the past 10 years. Under her leadership, she helped PSEG navigate several complex and historic energy transitions such as the state’s support for nuclear generation through the Zero Emissions Certificates, the establishment of PSEG Long Island a decade ago, PSEG’s transition to a mostly regulated utility with the sale of its fossil portfolio and many other milestone achievements.
“I am pleased to welcome Grace to this new role. Her appointment is part of our strategic and continuous succession planning process,” LaRossa continued. “The senior executive team and I have worked with Grace for years. She brings a sharp understanding of the landscape and proven leadership and track record to this role.”
Park joined PSEG in 2017 and was promoted to vice president, deputy general counsel and chief litigation counsel in 2020. Prior to PSEG, Park spent four years as acting prosecutor in Union County. Additionally, Park served as senior corporate counsel for litigation at Pfizer Inc. and as a federal prosecutor in the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Newark.
