Gareth Powell came to TfL from Atkins where he was a senior consultant.
He joined TfL as Head of Business Performance in September 2003.
He then became Director Of Business Planing and Performance in 2007.
Three years later he became Director Of Transformation where he oversaw the infamous Project Horizon.
(Who can forget the harrowing suicide of the TfL manager, who jumped from the roof of the Riverwalk building at Greenwich, allegedly as a direct result of Project Horizon).
Gareth moved department again in 2011 to become Director Of Strategy and Service Department London Underground and London Rail.
As Director of S&SD, he had a wide-ranging brief which included the planning and specification of the organisation’s £billion investment programme.
In 2013 Gareth’s portfolio was extended to include operational responsibility for London Overground, the Docklands Light Railway, London Trams and the Emirates Air Line.
In April 2016 Gareth joined the TfL Executive Committee with responsibility for TfL’s overall strategy. This role was expanded to include responsibility for TfL’s bus network alongside its commuter and light rail networks.
He now takes over the role of Managing Director Surface Transport from the departing Leon Daniels with immediate effect.
