Campbell joins SCV Water with 30 years of financial experience in the public and private sector. As CFAO, he will oversee the agency’s financial, risk management, information technology, and administrative activities and provide strategic financial leadership for complex water supply and facility transactions.

“We are thrilled to have Eric as SCV Water’s new Chief Financial and Administrative Officer,” said Matt Stone, SCV Water general manager.

“He is a great fit with our new agency and will mesh well with the management team and staff,” Stone said. “He brings a wealth of knowledge in financial planning, purchasing and budgeting for utilities; and has extensive experience with water rate planning and executing bond transactions.”

During his career, Campbell has held various finance, risk management and strategic

Campbell also brings private sector experience, having worked for Deloitte, a multinational professional services firm, where he assisted Fortune 100 clients with their risk assessment, financial management and reporting tools.

“I am eager to meet my team and get up to speed on the issues,” Campbell said. “I look
forward to establishing an integrated financial, technology, and administrative plan that will enable SCV Water to meet the challenges of providing high-quality water to its customers.”

He will lend his expertise to develop a strategic approach to long-term financing and
consideration of new revenue sources, including managing the budget and funding for the
SCV Groundwater Sustainability Agency.
