Charles A. Rawson III AGL Resources

Charles A. Rawson III
Vice President, Gas Operations

Charles A. Rawson III was named vice president, gas operations, in July 2007.  He has more than 23 years of valuable company experience and is especially well-suited to assuring that AGL Resources’ gas operations are state-of-the-art and meet the needs of our utilities and customers for years to come.

In November 2004, Rawson was named vice president and general manager of Florida City Gas, where he was responsible for serving 101,000 residential and industrial customers in seven counties, from Brevard to Miami-Dade.  He also served as vice president and general manager of Southeast Georgia and led the successful integration of FCG into AGL Resources.  Prior to that role, Rawson served as manager of wholesale services, where he was responsible for AGL Resources’ largest customers – natural gas marketers, shippers, poolers, power generators, and commercial and industrial operators.

Rawson first joined Atlanta Gas Light as an engineer.  Since then, he has developed an in-depth knowledge of the utility and its customers as he progressed into commercial sales and marketing, and then into the new business and marketing division.  From 2002 to 2004, he was managing director of research and analysis in the new business department.  Rawson’s broad experience was put to good use when he helped revamp the process of adding new customers, reducing capital costs and resulting in a savings of approximately 40 percent of the $62 million budget.

An Atlanta native, Rawson earned a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering from Georgia Tech and a master’s of business administration from Georgia State University.
