Canadian infrastructure company Enbridge said January 19 Cynthia Hansen, its executive vice president and president of Enbridge Gas, its gas distribution and storage business, will replace Bill Yardley, who is set to retire May 31 as executive vice president and president of gas transmission and midstream.
