When one journey has ended, another journey begins
Dr Troy Coyle concluded her tenure as HERA’s Chief Executive on 31 March 2026. On behalf of the Board and our wider membership, we acknowledge the significant contribution she made to HERA and to the industries we serve.
During her time as CEO, Troy provided clear strategic direction across a period of genuine growth and change. Under her leadership, HERA expanded into new areas including AI, Construction 4.0, structural health monitoring, bridge design, and structural fire engineering; strengthening both our capability and our influence across the sector. Her focus on financial sustainability, technical excellence, and industry collaboration leaves the organisation in a stronger position than she found it.
A defining milestone of Troy’s tenure was the development of the HERA Innovation Centre. Now progressing toward an anticipated opening in mid-2026, the centre reflects years of sustained effort and a commitment to world-class research, collaboration, and low-carbon transformation.
We thank Dr Coyle for her leadership and wish her well.
