We are delighted to announce that we have appointed Susan Hickey as our interim Group Chief Executive.
Susan, who joined us today (Monday 19th May), has worked in the social housing sector for many years, having been Chief Financial Officer at Peabody Trust for a decade before switching to specialise in interim roles. She has most recently held Interim CEO roles at Thrive Homes and Swan Housing.
Lucy Weston, Chair of Red Kite’s Board, said:
“We’re really pleased to welcome Susan to the team and look forward to working with her over the coming months as we begin the search for a permanent Chief Executive.
“I’m confident that her wealth of experience as a seasoned interim leader will allow her to hit the ground running and support colleagues in delivering our ambitious new Corporate Journey."
Susan added:
“I am very happy to join everyone at Red Kite and can’t wait to start working with all my new colleagues.”
Susan’s appointment follows the retirement of Red Kite’s former Group Chief Executive, Trevor Morrow, who left the organisation in April.
