Entergy Arkansas Inc. said Wednesday that it has hired Danny Games as director of business and economic development, replacing Mike Maulden, who is retiring in January.
Games is executive vice president of global business for the Arkansas Economic Development Commission. He previously worked for Entergy Arkansas as a senior project manager in the economic development group from 1998 to 2007.
“Danny is an excellent fit for this job,” Entergy Arkansas President and CEO Rick Riley said in a news release. “Having worked with Entergy Arkansas already, he knows and understands our customers and our industry. Having worked in other businesses and for the AEDC, he’s developed an impressive resume that has prepared him well for this new step in his career.”
At Entergy, Games will lead a team of seven responsible for community development, recruiting new business to Arkansas and retaining and expanding existing businesses.
Games was appointed to his AEDC job by Gov. Asa Hutchinson in January 2015. There, he directs the business development, business finance, community development, existing business and minority and women-owned business divisions at AEDC.
