Puckett helped turn CenturyLink into the third-largest telecommunications company in the U.S. She currently serves as the company's president-global markets and is facilitating the company’s ability to thrive in the new arenas of cloud, data hosting and managed services while maintaining its focus on operational excellence and financial strength.

In addition, Puckett currently sits on the board of directors and serves on the compensation committee at marketing services company Harte-Hanks, Inc.

“We are pleased to be able to add Pat, Karen and their respective expertise to our board of directors,” Leo Denault, Entergy’s chairman and chief executive officer, said. “Pat’s accounting background and Karen’s experience adapting to a rapidly changing business landscape are two of many attributes that promise to benefit our owners, customers, employees and communities. I and other board members look forward to working with them both.”
