Maaike de Bie has taken the general counsel (GC) role at Royal Mail, following seven months as interim GC after Neil Harnby’s departure last September.
De Bie, who led the company’s legal panel review in November 2014 along with director of legal operations Sarah Barrett-Vane, originally held the post of deputy GC, and dealt with the transactional side of the role, while Harnby oversaw the risk aspects and overall in-house function.
