BROOKLYN, N.Y., Aug. 1, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- National Grid today announced that
Sally Librera will join National
Grid as President of its New York
business, and sit on the Group Executive Committee, further
strengthening National Grid's leadership team and reinforcing its
credentials as a leader in the energy transition. Sally will report
to National Grid plc CEO John
Pettigrew. She joins the company in September.
Sally joins from AECOM, where she is currently Senior Vice
President and Transit Market Sector Leader for the company's
Americas region, focused on the design and delivery of complex
infrastructure projects and public private partnerships. She joined
AECOM in January 2022 from HNTB where
she led the NY/NJ Rail Infrastructure Practice. Sally is also
the former Senior Vice President for Subways at MTA New York City
Transit, where she led North
America's largest urban rail transit operation, overseeing a
team of 30,000 employees and safely delivering service for 5.6
million daily riders while improving system performance and
modernizing key infrastructure.
"Sally's experience working with large-scale operations and
infrastructure projects adds to our capabilities at National Grid
as we embark on plans to invest an estimated $21 billion across the Company's service
territory in New York over the
next five years. Her experience in working with government and
community partners will also allow the Company to advance its net
zero ambitions, delivering the safe and reliable energy our
New York customers and communities
deserve whilst assisting the State to achieve its climate goals and
deliver economic growth. We welcome Sally to National Grid and to
our Group Executive," Pettigrew said. "She joins a strong
leadership team focused on helping deliver solutions that address
the challenges associated with the energy transition and enhancing
our leading role in delivering safe, reliable, affordable
energy."
Sally will succeed Rudy Wynter, who is leaving National
Grid after 36 years of service. Rudy led the Company through an
unprecedented level of growth and delivered historically strong
performance for the New York Business Unit during his tenure.
"I would like to extend my personal and heartfelt thanks to
Rudy, who has made many significant contributions to National Grid
during his time with the Company, culminating as President of our
New York business,"
said Pettigrew. "He led the organization out of the COVID
Pandemic, oversaw the approval of our five-year infrastructure plan
in New York, set the foundation
for Integrated Energy Planning, and achieved strong financial
results each year during his tenure. Rudy will leave us at the end
of the September after a transitional period with Sally, and he
will go with our deep gratitude for his leadership, friendship and
everything he's achieved during his time with the Company – his
legacy will have an enduring impact on National Grid for decades to
come."

energy future. In New York,
