The Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) has today announced the appointment of Harriet Kemp to its Board as a Non-executive Board member.

Harriet has experience across a wide range of Executive, Non-executive and Chair roles, across public, private and not for profit sectors. She has a background as a senior HR leader specialising in remuneration, spanning some 30 years, including working at Compass plc, Novartis and Pepsi.

Peter Hill CBE, the Chair of the NDA, said:

I am delighted that Harriet is joining us, her extensive experience and background in HR leadership will be invaluable in helping us to drive forward our nationally important mission and continue to really deliver value for the taxpayer.

Harriet said:

The work of the NDA is not only important for this generation, but for many generations to come.

This is a hugely exciting, challenging and rewarding opportunity, and I’m looking forward to working with senior leaders and colleagues right across the NDA group to ensure we leave a positive legacy, for our communities and the environment.

Harriet is a Board member and Chair of the Nominations and Remuneration Committee for the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), a Trustee of Hamwic Educational Trust and a member of the School Teachers’ Review Body (STRB) alongside other Board Non-exec roles.

The NDA Board is accountable to government for all aspects of the NDA’s activities and performance.

In due course Harriet will succeed Evelyn Dickey as Chair of the Remuneration Committee, which is a specialised Board committee that oversees the salaries of executives and reward policies to encourage them to achieve company objectives and deliver maximum value for money.

Harriet was appointed to the NDA Board by the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) following a fair, open and transparent selection process. Her three-and-a-half-year term begins formally on 1 September 2024.
