South Yorkshire Future Trams Limited (SYFTL) has appointed Stéphanie Rivet as its new Chair.
Alongside her new role with SYFTL, Rivet currently serves in Non-Executive positions with Edinburgh Trams and Lothian Buses. Her appointment will support the next phase of Supertram’s development as part of South Yorkshire’s wider ambition to create a more integrated public transport network.
Rivet said: “My focus will be on ensuring SYFTL has the strong, effective board it needs to deliver through a significant period of investment and transformation, with governance, safety and financial stewardship at its heart.
“Supertram is woven into the fabric of South Yorkshire – it connects people to opportunity, to each other and to the places that matter to them. It is part of the region’s identity and its future. I believe Supertram has the potential to be something the whole region takes genuine pride in – a modern, green, integrated network that reflects the ambition and resilience of the communities it serves.”
Rivet has experience across the transport sector including as Commercial and Passenger Revenue Lead on the Great British Railways Transition Team between 2020 and 2025. She also spent nearly six years at Stagecoach Group between 2012 and 2018 as Group Chief Digital Officer and Group Head of Commercial and Digital.
