8101 Highways England has appointed a data specialist to advise the organisation, which manages England’s major roads.

Janette Beinart, former interim chief information officer at investment business M&G Prudential, will join as a non-executive director.

Colin Matthews, Highways England’s chairman, says: “Janette’s extensive knowledge and experience of applying big data and digitalisation to a changing business landscape will be tremendously valuable as we plan for the future and developments which can transform our roads.”

Beinart has also worked at Shell International for 35 years, a career in which she became the company’s upstream chief information officer.
