National Grid has appointed Ian Livingston—otherwise known as Lord Livingston of Parkhead—as a non-executive director.
He will also be a member of the company’s remuneration committee when he takes up his role in August.
Lord Livingston was the youngest FTSE 100 chief finance officer when he was appointed to the Dixons Group in 1996. In 2002 he joined BT as CFO, before becoming group CEO in 2008. He joined the UK government as minister of state for trade and investment from 2013–15 and is an active member of the House of Lords.
He is currently chair of Dixons Carphone and a non-executive director of S&P Global.
Paula Rosput Reynolds, chair of National Grid, said: “When one considers the tremendous changes in technology and infrastructure that took place in telecommunications, Ian brings an invaluable perspective to the challenges and opportunities of the journey to Net Zero. The board is delighted that Ian has agreed to bring his intellect, leadership experience and financial acumen to National Grid.”
