SES strengthens governance board with new HR Director
We have strengthened our senior leadership team with the appointment of Amy Shaw as HR Director, who brings more than 20 years of strategic and operational HR experience to our business.
Reporting directly to our executive managing director, Amy will sit on both the SES Governance and Strategy Boards, helping to drive the company’s people agenda during its next phase of growth.
Amy joins SES with a proven track record of shaping high‑performance, values‑driven cultures within complex, technology-led and safety‑critical environments. Her experience spans organisational transformation, leadership capability development, hybrid workforce strategy, and embedding inclusive, resilient cultures that support both wellbeing and long-term growth.
Prior to joining, Amy was People and Culture Director at Roma Finance, an award‑winning property and development lender. Her earlier career includes eight years with Laing O’Rourke (Construction and Crown House Technologies) and 11 years with Arup, the global design and engineering consultancy, where she delivered large-scale people initiatives across diverse project and operational teams.
Amy holds a degree in Health and Community Studies and is a member of both the Chartered Institute of Professional Development and the Chartered Management Institute. She is CMI‑qualified in coaching and mentoring and recently completed the Disruptive HR Chief People Officer Programme, reflecting her forward‑thinking, people‑first approach.
We are delighted to welcome Amy to SES as our new HR Director. Her breadth of experience, energy and vision will be instrumental as we continue to deliver our ambitious strategy across the business. Amy brings deep expertise in building inclusive, high‑performing cultures, and I look forward to working closely with her as she helps shape the next chapter of SES.”
