The Board of the Trinidad and Tobago Electricity Commission (T&TEC) has a new appointee. She is Human Resource professional Charmaine Caballero.
Caballero brings to the Board a wealth of experience in human resources management, having served as Human Resources Adviser and subsequently as General Manager of Human Resources at Republic Bank between 2005 -2014. Prior to that she was the Manager, Personnel, at the Personnel Department of the Central Bank of Trinidad and Tobago from 1979- 1996. She was also a part time lecturer in the Departments of Management and Behavioural Sciences at UWI, and a former Chairman and President of the Council of the Institute of Banking and Finance of Trinidad and Tobago.
Caballero holds a Master of Business Administration with a Major in Management from New York University and a Bachelor of Arts in Economics and Mathematics. In welcoming Carballero to the Board, Public Utilities Minister Senator Robert Le Hunte, noted, her experience in the area of human resources management will be critical in charting the way forward for the Utility since all sides, employees and management, are critical in ensuring that T&TEC increases efficiency while at the same time reducing expenditure.
The Minister added that in striking that balance, the workers’ representatives were an important component of that process. He said Caballero’s experience will be critical in the maximization of the human resource potential of the organization.
Senator Le Hunte said her appointment was an important addition to the board, as the Utility undergoes the transformation to greater efficiency and service delivery to its consumers.
