John Flint is to step down as CEO of the National Wealth Fund (NWF) in the summer, after successfully seeing the organisation through its transition from the UK Infrastructure Bank (UKIB).
Appointed as CEO of UKIB in 2021, John led the Bank from a start-up to an established feature of the UK investment and policy landscape. In October 2024, UKIB was transformed into the NWF, and since then John has driven forward the new institution to support the government’s ambitious growth and clean energy missions.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Rt. Hon Rachel Reeves, said:
John Flint has been an outstanding CEO of UKIB and the NWF. He will leave behind a considerable legacy – having led the scale-up of UKIB and its transformation into the NWF. I would like to thank him and wish him well.
“His successor will be required to build on his work by backing businesses and our local leaders to invest in the industries of the future. In doing so we can get Britain building the infrastructure we need to grow as part of our Plan for Change.
John Flint said:
It has been a huge privilege to lead UKIB and NWF, working with some of the brightest and best of the public and private sectors. After successfully leading the transformation of UKIB into the NWF, this summer will be the right moment to hand over to a successor and look for a new challenge.
“I will do so feeling confident that the NWF is well positioned to mobilise billions of pounds of investment and play a leading role in supporting the government’s ambitions on growth and clean energy. I will follow its future activities with interest
A recruitment process to identify Flint’s replacement will launch shortly. Flint will remain as CEO until the summer to support an orderly transition to a new CEO.
