In the following article in City AM, February, 15, 2018, entitled, "Mining giant Rio Tinto has appointed the chief executive of Royal Mail Group to its board."

take note of the following excerpt,

Earlier this month, Royal Mail struck a long-awaited pensions deal with the Communication Workers Union, following which ETX Capital's senior market analyst Neil Wilson said it would be "job done" for Greene. Having taken the business through a radical transformation, he predicted Greene would move on to allow a new, younger chief exec to take the business forward.

According to CTPartners, The idea of a plural career is naturally appealing to executive board members. After years honing their business acumen and knowledge at the helm of an organisation, they can use this experience to transform the fortunes of other businesses, charities and government committees as a non-executive. The theory of graduating from being a full-time executive to a non-executive with a plural career is widely accepted.

Moya is now on the boards of easyjet, The Tate Museum, and is joining Rio Tinto in the "second half of 2018".

She is also being touted as the potential, future Chairman of the Tate Museum Trustees in the following article,

The jostling to succeed ex-BP chief Lord Browne as chairman of the Tate provides welcome intrigue. Fingers-in-every-pie PR fixer Roland Rudd, 56, is mustard keen but worries that interim chairman, Financial Times editor Lionel Barber, could scupper him. Relations between them while colleagues at the FT were not warm, and Barber might fancy the position himself.
Meanwhile, the careful consideration being given to dainty Royal Mail boss Moya Greene's credentials threatens to leave both accomplished poseurs disappointed.

This all sounds a bit like the beginning of a plural career - doesn't it?

Assuming that she will be moving on, the bigger question is who will replace her? An internal candidate or an outsider?

Let's not forget The Times Article from back in entitled, "Back lined up to be the future for Royal Mail",

A German parcels expert is being lined up as the next chief executive of Royal Mail. An unpublicised internal restructuring of the group at the behest of Peter Long, the new chairman, has handed Rico Back, hitherto the head of the group’s European business, unprecedented authority across all its parcel operations: UK domestic, continental and worldwide delivery. Sources indicate that Mr Back, a well-regarded executive who has been chief executive of Royal Mail’s consistently profitable GLS company in Europe, is being positioned to take the top job at the company amid speculation that Moya Greene, 62, the group chief executive, could call time on her six-year tenure in charge sooner rather than later.

It is understood that Ms Greene has been on the lookout for non-executive directorships. She is regarded as a hot property by headhunters for her unique experience of having overseen Royal Mail through its controversial 2013 privatisation and averting the threat of an all-out nationwide strike by the postal unions.Mr Back has had his responsibilities increased to oversee the UK parcels business as well as Parcelforce Worldwide in a role that puts him in a management position over and above the present management of those Royal Mail divisions.

The reorganisation is understood to have been at the behest of Mr Long, 63, the former chief executive of TUI, the Thomson Holidays company, who became chairman of Royal Mail last September.

What are RoyalMailChatters' views on the potential CEO successors for Moya and the implications for the business and for CWU?

Great - another foreign prat with no understanding of what a cherished proud company Royal Mail is to the people of this country. Why we can’t they find someone to run the company who is not only capable of running it but can also understand the 500 year old brand.

It would be impossible to find someone from within a country of 65 million people to head Royal Mail, because we need the brightest and the best.

Greed does not come into it if it did only one person would win and it has no disqualification on a small state north of AMERICA!
