Royal Mail has named Moya Greene as its new chief executive, the first female to be appointed to the role.

Ms Greene, who is currently chief executive of Canada Post, will take up the position at the beginning of July.

She replaces Adam Crozier who left Royal Mail just before Easter to take over as chief executive of ITV.

Royal Mail chairman Donald Brydon said Ms Greene would bring "energy, clear thinking and a proven leadership track record" to the role.

Ms Greene said she was "honoured to be joining such a great company".

Ms Greene has been in charge at Canada Post since May 2005. Prior to that she held senior roles at companies including Bombardier and TD Bank.

In 2003, she was named among the 100 most influential women in Canada by Canadian newspaper the National Post.

Changing times
One of the first things Ms Greene will have to deal with when she takes over is the government's plans to part-privatise Royal Mail.

The new coalition government said last week that it would seek "an injection of private capital" in Royal Mail, while the post office network would remain in public ownership.

The announcement came as Royal Mail reported a pre-tax loss of £262m for the last financial year.

hopefully she will have a bedding in period but i would say it will be more of the same .pressure from above manifesting down to the shopfloor as targets become unachievable yet the workforce will be worthy scapegoats.

We used to have one the Sudbury local set up that that is gone. The corporation would copy things we said in it and use it against us in arbitrations. They had a whole binder of stuff I said all over the internet prepared for my arb.
