Nicola is an established leader within the business and takes over from Vicky Kelsall who is retiring after 30 years working across the ScottishPower and Iberdrola Group, including with its North American businesses PacifiCorp and Avangrid before being appointed CEO of SP Energy Networks in 2022.
Nicola is widely recognised across the Group for her outstanding service and excellent leadership qualities, holding various senior roles since joining in 1995. She was previously Finance Director of SP Energy Networks and was appointed Control & Administration Director of ScottishPower in July 2021.
Keith Anderson, CEO of ScottishPower said: “Nicola is a highly experienced and dedicated leader and the appointment reflects her proven track record of strategic vision, strong leadership and consistent delivery.
“With a £12billion investment plan and a huge pipeline of projects across our business to be delivered, her commitment to excellence and driving value will be invaluable to ScottishPower and SP Energy Networks.
“I’d like to thank Vicky for her accomplishments, dedication and commitment to the company, and it is with great respect that I wish her a happy and well-deserved retirement.”
