National housebuilder Barratt Redrow has confirmed the appointment of Rebecca Napier as chief financial officer and executive director of the group.
Napier, who is described as an "experienced business leader with a strong track record", will join the developer on 3 August. She was most recently CFO of soft drinks producer Britvic until its acquisition by Carlsberg Group last year.
She spent 17 years at airline group IAG, including as CFO of British Airways, and began her career at Deloitte, having qualified as a chartered accountant.
Caroline Silver, chair of Barratt Redrow, said: "On behalf of the board, I am delighted to welcome Rebecca to Barratt Redrow. She brings a proven ability to lead through complexity, change and challenging markets.
"As we near completion of the integration of Barratt and Redrow, Rebecca’s energy, discipline and capital markets experience will be critical in helping us to build on the benefits of the combination and create sustainable value for shareholders."
In October, Barratt Developments and Redrow completed a £2.5 billion merger after approval from the Competition and Markets Authority. The group confirmed in a trading update in April that the deal would deliver £100 million of "cost synergies".
Napier added: "I am excited to be joining Barratt Redrow at an important time for the group and for the UK housing sector. Barratt Redrow is the industry-leading housebuilder with three trusted brands, a strong balance sheet and an excellent land pipeline supporting a clear focus on delivering high-quality homes and places for customers and communities.
"I look forward to working with colleagues across the business to support disciplined execution and drive long-term value for customers, communities and shareholders."
