National Grid has announced that Sir Peter Gershon will step down as chair of its nominations committee from 1 January 2021. He will be succeeded by non-executive director and chair designate Paula Rosput Reynolds.
Sir Peter will cease to be a member of the nominations committee but will remain as chair of the board and as non-executive director during the transitionary period.
It was announced in September 2020 that Reynolds would take over from Sir Peter as chair of the board in 2021. The former chair and chief executive of Safeco will be the network operator’s first female chair.
