Coastal continues to progress a planned merger with RHA to create a new organisation. Another significant milestone has been reached, with appointments to the Executive Team of the new merger organisation.

Following a thorough selection process, we are pleased to confirm the following appointments that will take effect when the merger completes:

• Executive Director of People – Caroline Belasco 
  Executive Director of Transformation & Insight – Jen Ellis 
  Executive Director of Development & Growth – Rhianydd Jenkins 
  Executive Director of Operations – Serena Jones 
  Executive Director of Finance – Simon Jones 

Along with the previously-announced appointments of CEO Designate Debbie Green and Deputy Chief Executive Designate Luke Takeuchi, this completes the Executive Team for the new merger organisation.

Our next focus in terms of recruitment is to complete the remaining appointments to the merger organisation’s board, to join Chair Designate Peter Hughes and Vice Chair Designate Patrick Hoare, whose appointments were announced last month.
