National Grid has appointed Iain Mackay to the board as a non-executive director.
He will join the board following the company’s AGM in July, and be a member of the audit & risk and remuneration committees.
Mackay is currently chief financial officer at pharmaceutical company GSK and is a former group finance director at HSBC Holdings. He began his career at PwC and was previously a trustee of the British Heart Foundation and chair of its audit & risk committee.
Paula Rosput Reynolds, chair of National Grid, said: “As part of our ongoing board refreshment process, it will be invaluable to have Iain in the National Grid boardroom. His breadth of experience across continents, industries and business functions will bring additional depth to our deliberations in what has emerged as a fast-moving environment.”
