Mark Wild brings nearly four decades of experience in major utilities and rail infrastructure projects, including a pivotal four-year tenure on Crossrail, which he saw to completion in 2022.

Currently, he serves as the chief executive of SGN, the gas distribution network covering Scotland and South East England. His previous roles include leading London Underground and working with Public Transport Victoria in Melbourne.

Mr. Wild replaces Mark Thurston, who stepped down last September after serving six and a half years in the role.

Mr Wild Metioned: “I look forward to leading HS2 as it progresses from major construction works to its rail systems phase and beyond to the first passenger services. The scale and ambition of HS2 is phenomenal and will deliver wide-reaching benefits for the UK through more jobs, economic growth and better journeys.”
