Historic Environment Scotland (HES) has announced the appointment of a new Chief Executive.
The public body will be led by Katerina Brown, who joins HES from the National Trust for Scotland, where she currently serves as its Chief Operating Officer.
Brown will replace Alex Paterson, who left Historic Environment Scotland in March. Craig Mearns, Director of Operations, is currently acting as Interim Chief Executive.
Brown’s start date has yet to be confirmed.
HES said Brown’s role will focus on contributing to Scotland’s economy; education and skills development; net zero targets and the wider cultural landscape. She will report to the HES Board and will also be the designated Accountable Officer to the Scottish Government.
“I feel truly privileged and humbled to lead Historic Environment Scotland,” said Brown. “My experience across public, private, and charitable sectors has provided me with a comprehensive understanding of how to lead organisations for the benefit of all.”
Dr. Hugh Hall, Chair of Historic Environment Scotland said “[Brown’s] experience in the heritage sector and her successful track record in business combine to make her an outstanding candidate for the job.
“Katerina brings a wealth of experience and knowledge and will play a leading role in delivering Scotland’s ambitious heritage strategy, which impacts significantly on many aspects of people’s lives.
