other areas as a senior vice president.
In his role as head of AmerenEnergy Resources, Voss replaces Daniel
F. Cole, who will continue to serve as a corporate senior vice president,
directing a range of key business and corporate services, including
information technology and purchasing. In assuming the senior management
position for non-nuclear generation, Voss replaces Randolph, who
will continue to serve as senior vice president and chief nuclear
officer, focusing his leadership on nuclear issues.
Baxter has been senior vice president, Finance, since 2001, after
joining Union Electric—now part of Ameren Corporation—in 1995 as

in 1998 he became vice president and controller. Before joining
Ameren, Baxter served as senior manager at Price Waterhouse (now
PriceWaterhouse Coopers LLP), both in St. Louis and in the National
Office in New York City.
Sullivan began his career at the St. Louis law firm of Kohn, Shands,
Elbert, Gianoulakis & Giljum in 1985. He joined Union Electric Company—now
known as AmerenUE in 1987. Eight years later, Sullivan left AmerenUE
to assume the position of associate general counsel at Anheuser-Busch
Companies. He returned to AmerenUE in 1998 as vice president, Regulatory
Policy, General Counsel & Secretary.
Voss began his career with the company in 1969 as an engineer after
earning a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering from the University
of Missouri–Rolla. After four years in the U.S. Air Force, he returned
to the company. In 1988, he became manager of Distribution Operating.
He was named vice president, Region Operations for AmerenCIPS, in
July 1998. Voss has served as senior vice president for Energy Delivery/Customer
Services for AmerenUE, AmerenCIPS and Ameren Services, since May
1999.
Whiteley joined AmerenUE in 1978 as an assistant engineer in System
Planning. He later served as supervising engineer in System Planning
and of Transmission Line Design and was promoted to manager of Transmission
Planning in 1993. He served first as manager and later as vice president
of electrical engineering and transmission planning. Whiteley was
named senior vice president, Ameren Services, in August 2001.
