Moya Greene, CEO of Canada Post, has been hired to take on the challenge that is Royal Mail, the Crown corporation responsible for UK’s postal services. She will be the first non-Briton and first woman to take on the post.
Greene has been CEO of Canada Post since 2005 and will take on her new post at Royal Mail in July.

Donald Brydon, Royal Mail Chairman, said: “I am delighted that Moya is
joining Royal Mail. She will bring energy, clear thinking and a proven
leadership track record – as well as hugely relevant experience – to
the business at an important moment in its evolution. I look forward to
working closely with Moya as we tackle the challenges ahead and
continue to focus on satisfying our customers and maintaining the
six-days-a-week Universal Service.”
Greene is also serves on the Board of Directors at Tim Horton’s and previously held executive roles at CIBC, TD and Bombardier. Her time at Canada Post has seen the Crown corporation boost profits through cost cutting, despite facing declining revenues. Her tenure at Canada Post also saw an increase in workplace grievances of nearly 60 percent.
