The National Infrastructure and Service Transformation Authority (NISTA) has announced the appointment of Becky Wood as its new Chief Executive Officer.
Last October, Chief Secretary to the Treasury Darren Jones announced plans to create a new National Infrastructure and Service Transformation Authority (NISTA), bringing together the former Infrastructure and Projects Authority (IPA) and National Infrastructure Commission (NIC).
Formally launched at the beginning of this month, NISTA aims to fix the foundations of the country’s infrastructure system by bringing strategy and delivery under one roof, addressing the systemic delivery challenges that have stunted growth for decades.
Darren Jones, Chief Secretary to the Treasury said:
“I am delighted that Becky is going to lead NISTA as the new CEO, she brings a wealth of experience from the public and private sector overseeing some of the biggest transport projects around the world in the past decade. Her appointment is an important milestone for NISTA’s work in getting a grip on infrastructure delivery, powering growth across the country and delivering on our Plan for Change.”
Beck Wood, NISTA Chief Executive Officer, said:
“It is an honour to be appointed to a role that has so much potential to make a vital difference to the everyday lives of people across the UK, ensuring robust delivery of infrastructure and enabling growth. I am very much looking forward to joining the team in June.”
Becky, who is an ICE Fellow, will formally take up her role as CEO in June 2025.
