TfL names Patrick Doig new Chief Finance Officer to succeed retiring Rachel McLean

Transport for London (TfL) has today announced that, following an extensive internal and external recruitment process, Patrick Doig will replace Rachel McLean as managing Chief Finance Officer (CFO) when she retires on 14 February 2026.

Patrick joined TfL in 2007 as a financial analyst before securing a number of promotions and becoming a key part of the TfL leadership team. Most recently Patrick has served as Statutory CFO and Group Procurement and Commercial Director, where he has delivered significant improvements in commercial strategy and  supplier partnerships. Before that, Patrick held the role of Group Finance Director - playing a pivotal role in shaping TfL's financial strategy.

Patrick helped steer TfL through the pandemic, ensuing financial resilience and operational stability and securing the Government funding agreements needed to begin TfL's recovery. He will continue to be TfL’s statutory CFO, a role he has held since 2021.

Andy Lord, TfL's Commissioner, said: "Patrick's leadership has been instrumental during some of our most challenging times.  His appointment as CFO reflects Patrick's exceptional leadership, deep knowledge of our business and unwavering dedication to our people. 

"I would like to again thank Rachel McLean for everything she has done for TfL and for London during her tenure, and to congratulate Patrick on this well-deserved achievement. I am excited to see the continued positive impact he will bring in this new capacity."
