Battersea Power Station Development Company (BPSDC) has appointed former Galliard Homes’ chief executive officer (CEO) Donagh O’Sullivan as the company’s new CEO.
He replaces Simon Murphy who announced in January this year that he was stepping down as CEO of BPSDC in March.
O’Sullivan began his career at Balfour Beatty and joined Galliard in 2001 as a contract manager. He was made group managing director in 2012 and group CEO in 2017.
In his new role, O’Sullivan will lead the continued development of the former industrial brownfield site following the restoration and public opening of the Grade II* listed power station.
Tan Sri Jagan Sabapathy, chairman of Battersea Power Station Project Holding Company, said: “We are delighted to welcome Don O’Sullivan as our new CEO. Don’s exceptional leadership skills, strategic insights and deep industry knowledge make him the ideal choice to lead BPSDC. Don joins us as we embark on the next phase of development at Battersea Power Station and as we strengthen the performance of our assets under management including the iconic Grade II* listed power station. I am confident that Don together with the wonderful team that we have at BPSDC, will take us to the next level of achievement and success.”
O’Sullivan added: “I am delighted to be joining the Battersea Power Station team. I have long been an admirer of this landmark project on our wondrous London skyline. The exceptional vision and extraordinary commitment shown from the shareholders and the whole Battersea team has already delivered beyond expectations – I am very excited to have the opportunity of playing a part in the next stages of the great Battersea Power Station story.”
