Independent chairAnika Rao
Anika Rao chairs the Board of Directors. Her work has centered on the oversight of large public infrastructure programmes and the commercial organizations that deliver them.
She brings experience in programme governance, customer accountability and the transition from capital projects into sustained operation. As independent chair, she sets the board’s agenda and leads its review of management decisions.
A distinct role from management
The board appoints and oversees executive leadership. Management remains responsible for delivering the company’s programmes; the board tests whether the associated obligations, risks and resources have been understood.
The chair is independent of the executive team. The Chief Executive Officer serves on the board, with independent directors responsible for committee oversight.
