NDA Announces New CEO
17 June 2009
We have today announced the appointment of Tony Fountain as our new Chief Executive Officer.
Mr Fountain, who will take up his new position in October, joins the NDA from BP where he was Chief Operating Officer (COO) of BP's Fuels Value Chains business.
NDA Chairman Stephen Henwood said:
"The Board is delighted to have found someone of Tony's calibre and experience to lead the organisation into the next phase of its journey. Our task moving forward is to focus on delivery and performance in what will clearly be a very challenging environment. Tony's experience and leadership will be crucial to our future success."
"The Board is extremely grateful to Richard Waite who, as Acting Chief Executive, has led the NDA team that has delivered strong results for the NDA over the last 12 months – including the successful conclusion of the Sellafield PBO competition and the sale of land around some of our sites. Richard's experience as acting CEO and his strong nuclear background and track record make him a key member of the senior team and we will be working with him to develop and grow his future role."
Tony Fountain said:
"The NDA is undertaking a critical role on behalf of the UK and I feel privileged to be asked to lead the organisation and very excited about the opportunity. The NDA has much to be proud about in its achievements so far, but all will agree there is much still to be done. I look forward to building on the important relationships with our key stakeholders who have such an important role in our future success."
