Stuart Falla CBE will step down as a non-States member from the States Trading Supervisory Board (STSB) after a replacement is found, and the search for that person continues.
STSB is comprised of three deputies and two non-States members, and oversees Guernsey Ports, Guernsey Water, States Works, Guernsey Dairy, Guernsey Waste and the Channel Islands Lottery.
It is also the States' representative on the Board of Directors for Aurigny, Guernsey Electricity, JamesCo and Guernsey Post.
"We are looking for someone with experience of running a business or businesses in the private sector, who can bring that expertise to help the States-owned trading operations," said the President of STSB, Deputy Peter Roffey.
"As trading entities, our operations are funded primarily by charging for the services they provide, rather than from taxation. They also look after much of the island's critical infrastructure, and provide essential services that islanders - our customers - rely on, 365 days a year.
“Our role, as STSB, is to provide strategic direction, just as the Board of Directors of a company will do. Having non-political representatives with current or recent private sector experience provides a valuable external perspective and challenge, similar to the role of a non-executive director in a private business."
STSB would like someone with a strong "business background" to take over Mr Falla's role until the end of his original term - June 2024.
