American Water (NYSE: AWK) announced leadership changes at its Missouri and Illinois subsidiaries, effective Oct. 23, 2026, according to a company statement.

Rich Svindland resigned as president of Missouri American Water to pursue another professional opportunity. Svindland previously held leadership roles at both Missouri American Water and California American Water.

Rebecca Losli, who has served as president of Illinois American Water since 2022, will take over as president of Missouri American Water. Brian Eisenloeffel, currently vice president of Operations at Illinois American Water, has been named president of Illinois American Water.
