Bryan DeCordova

Bryan M. DeCordova joined Green Mountain Energy as chief financial officer (CFO) in November 2002 bringing more than 25 years of finance experience with him. In this position, Bryan manages the finance, accounting, planning and analysis, risk management and capital market functions for the Company.

Previously, Bryan served as the executive vice president and chief financial officer of Michaels Stores, Inc., (NYSE: MIK) an Irving, TX-based, $3.0 billion specialty retail chain that owns and operates over 950 stores throughout the U.S. and Canada. In that role Bryan was responsible for all financial, accounting, planning and analysis, investor relations, risk management and loss prevention activities. He was a critical part of a new management team that turned around a company that had generated operating losses of over $100 million in the two years prior to his arrival into one that achieved 35 percent compounded annual earnings growth after returning to profitability in his first year. As CFO, Bryan introduced long-range financial planning and played a significant role in directing the Michael's investments in infrastructure and technology that spurred record financial growth. He also personally directed every aspect of the company's investor relations efforts, establishing marketplace credibility for Michael's and dramatically increasing the quality and quantity of research on the company, resulting in stock price appreciation of over 650 percent.

From 1990 to 1997, before moving to Michaels Stores, Inc., Bryan served as the vice president of finance, treasurer and chief financial officer for Duckwall-ALCO Stores, Inc. (Nasdaq: DUCK) in Abilene, Kansas. In that role Bryan was responsible for all finance, accounting, planning and analysis, information systems and investor relations activities for this 250+ unit discount/variety retail store chain. Upon joining the company, he played a critical role in the development and execution of the company's plan of reorganization. During his tenure, Duckwall increased its store count by 85 percent through expansion and acquisition, went public in 1994 and had a successful follow-on public equity offering in 1996.

Prior to that Bryan spent eight years as a director and officer in the retail sector with companies like May Department Stores and as an accountant with Price Waterhouse & Company.

Bryan graduated from the University of Texas at Austin in 1978 with a bachelor's degree of business administration in accounting.
