National Air Traffic Services (NATS) has announced that
Rob Witty has stepped down from his role as chief technology and
programmes officer and has left the company.
Until his successor is appointed, the role will be split between
Nigel Horne, an independent technology expert, who has advised NATS
on a number of major engineering projects, and Ian Mills, director
of business improvement. They will both report to Paul Barron,
NATS’ chief executive.
Announcing the changes, Barron, said, “The success of our
company is inextricably linked to our ambitious £1bn modernisation
plan and the 350 engineering projects that support it.
“We will be moving swiftly to find the right capability for this
task and I have every confidence in the ability of Nigel
[Horne] and Ian [Mills] to manage this effectively in the
interim.”
