Lawes said: “This is the right time to pass on the baton as LLDC starts the next part of its journey. It has been a privilege to have led such a complex and challenging project. To have worked with a fantastic team and partners for so many years has been hugely rewarding and key to that success is a project with such a clear, strong, and constant vision.
She added: “This programme has been instrumental in shifting London’s growth east and I believe profoundly that everyone deserves to live and work in well-designed environments, and I am so proud of the scale and quality of buildings, parkland, public realm, and neighbourhoods delivered on Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. We have set a high bar and shown that it can be done.”
LLDC chief executive Lyn Garner said: “Rosanna has made a huge and vital contribution to the regeneration of east London over the last two decades and more. You can see the impact of her work everywhere you look around the park, from East Bank to new homes, high-quality public realm to new business districts. She should be rightly proud of the team she has built who will take forward the regeneration project as we embark on the next phase of our journey.”
Lawes will officially step down from the role on 31 March 2025.
