Hello, my name is Annie Gimbel. After years of chasing deadlines, I've officially switched sides. Say hello to Caterpillar Electric Power Division's newest Senior Communications Specialist. I've traded my press badge for a hard hat and couldn't be more thrilled about it.

For nearly a century, Caterpillar's Electric Power Division has powered critical infrastructure and saved lives. When Mother Nature throws a fit or your phone is at 2% during a blackout—EPD is the superhero showing up with a cape made of generators and backup power systems. We're like the Avengers, but with more safety meetings and significantly better health insurance.

As someone who has always believed in the power of strategic storytelling, I’m eager to work with senior leaders and global teams to craft communications driving real change, connecting people to work that truly matters.  This role combines everything I’m passionate about with a mission I believe in. So, here's to leaving journalism for something that sparks joy (and sparks... well, actual electrical power). Ready to energize this next chapter!
