Published: 07/09/2016
The Nuclear Institute (NI) has announced the appointment of Alastair Laird to serve as Interim Chief Executive Officer for a period of three months from 8 August 2016. This follows the recent resignation of the previous CEO, John Warden. Alastair will join the NI from Doosan Babcock, where he is Account Director for Nuclear Capital Projects. He is currently a Trustee of the NI, a position he will relinquish during his term as Interim CEO, and he also serves as a Board member of the European Nuclear Society.
NI President Neil Thomson said: “I am delighted to welcome Alastair as Interim CEO to provide continuity and leadership whilst we undertake a rigorous search for a permanent successor to John Warden. As a current Trustee, he is already well known to many of the NI team and he is familiar with the opportunities and challenges which we face as an organisation. The Board of Trustees and I are very grateful both to Alastair for taking on this role, and to Doosan Babcock for releasing him to guide us through this period of transition.”
