Emily Miles is to leave her role as the FSA’s Chief Executive in September 2024 following her appointment as Director General of Food, Biosecurity and Trade at Defra.
Katie Pettifer, who is currently the Director of Strategy and Regulatory Compliance, at the FSA will act as interim CEO while a permanent replacement is found. Emily Miles said:
I’m delighted to take up this new challenge, but I’m really sad to be leaving the FSA. I joined it in 2019, before Brexit, the pandemic, the Ukraine war, and the cost of living crisis.
The organisation has achieved a huge amount in these five years with a determined focus on delivering food you can trust. I know that I’m leaving the FSA in the strong hands of the FSA leadership team and our Chair Professor Susan Jebb. I am very grateful for the hard work and dedication of my colleagues in the FSA, and look forward to continuing to work with them in my new role.
The BFFF wishes Emily all the best and look forward to working with her once again in her new role.
