Since 1993, when Frederick Bermudez joined the media relations team at Salt River Project, he has demonstrated the ability to thrive in an environment in which responsibilities increase. He currently serves as manager of Investor Communication for PNM Resources, an energy holding company based in Albuquerque, N.M. Frederick is a key contact for buy- and sell-side analysts and serves as the media spokesperson regarding all financial aspects of the company. He has planned and executed successful investor marketing road shows in the United States and seven European countries, and spearheaded IR communications efforts for various acquisitions, including the purchase of three power plants valued at $1.4 billion.

He is the author of the company’s award-winning annual reports, financial-related news releases, earnings conference call scripts and executive speeches to shareholders. He also manages the company’s corporate Web site. In 2009 and 2010, he chaired the Communications Subcommittee for the National Institute of Investor Relations’ Annual Conference. He also has served in various planning roles for conferences and meetings held by the Edison Electric Institute.

Prior to joining PNM Resources’ investor relations team, Frederick served as the company’s Director of Corporate Communication and was responsible for overall corporate communication strategy. In that role, Frederick successfully positioned the company as responsible and honest during the disclosure of employee misjudgments after a near-fatal natural gas explosion in Santa Fe. His strategic, proactive approach to this issue gained acclaim by the International Association of Business Communicators and the Public Relations Society of America. His work also was highlighted as a corporate best practice in the 2006 book “The High Purpose Company: The Truly Responsible (and Highly Profitable) Firms That Are Changing Business Now.”

Before joining PNM Resources in 2001, Frederick served in various communication and management roles during an eight-year span for Salt River Project and its affiliate, New West Energy. He has 18 years of experience in the energy industry after having been a print journalist in Cincinnati and Phoenix.
