He is responsible for all efforts to foster innovation, creativity and development in Dominion Energy’s people, processes and strategies for a sustainable future. Dominion Energy’s Innovation team focuses on four fundamental drivers of the energy future: the rise of distributed resources, zero-carbon mobility, using data and computing power as an energy resource, and the interlock between energy and sustainability.

He also helped initiate policy and regulatory initiatives to advance transportation electrification.

In 2013, Webb assumed the responsibilities of vice president and general counsel and became senior vice president–Corporate Affairs and chief legal officer in 2017. During his time in those roles, he was instrumental in advancing multiple legislative initiatives, including legislation supporting investments to extend the life of Dominion’s four zero-carbon nuclear energy units and the comprehensive 2017 Grid Transformation and Security Act.

Prior to joining Dominion, he was an associate at Andrews & Kurth in Houston from 1993 to 1995 and at Hunton & Williams in Richmond from 1995 to 1997.
