Sustainable transport charity Sustrans has confirmed Xavier Brice as its new chief executive, taking over from Malcolm Shepherd in June (2016).
Brice has spent the last decade working with TfL (Transport for London), most recently leading the ‘Fit for the Future Stations’ programme for London Underground.
He was also famously the author of a new cycling strategy for London, which led to the introduction of the Cycle Superhighways and Cycle Hire Scheme.
“As a long-term supporter of Sustrans, I’m looking forward to leading the organisation and making walking and cycling a more attractive and practical option for communities across the UK,” comments Brice,
Shepherd, who has been in post since 2008 will remain chief executive until the end of March, with operations director Andy Wistow acting as interim CEO until June.
