EY appoints Patrick Bossert to head infrastructure asset intelligence practice

EY has announced the appointment of Patrick Bossert to lead its UK infrastructure asset ntelligence practice.

Bossert will lead on asset intelligence strategy and digital business transformation across the UK covering central government, transport and infrastructure. His main focus will be on helping regional and central government get better returns from transport and social infrastructure investment. 

Previously, Bossert was with Network Rail where he spent six years leading their asset information and digital workforce transformation through the £330m Offering Rail Better Information Services (ORBIS) and Digital Railway programmes.  

Commenting on his new role, Bossert said: “I am delighted to take on this role and for the opportunity to help a broader range of clients get the most out of their infrastructure investments and contribute more to economic growth as part of the UK’s industrial strategy. 

“Harnessing better asset intelligence helps control risks, reduce costs for asset owners and can give greater autonomy to staff on the ground. It also supports new models of infrastructure finance, which can drive much-needed transport capacity enhancements.”

Amanda Clack, head of infrastructure advisory at EY, said: “Patrick brings immense experience and knowledge that will help us to grow our business in a sector facing huge financial pressures and increasing capacity challenges.”
