Jim Ferland, who was to become president and chief executive officer of Westinghouse, has resigned and is to take up the same position at Babcock & Wilcox from 19 April.

Westinghouse said in a statement that chairman of the Board Shigenori Shiga would assume the role of president and CEO on an interim basis, effective 4 April.

With a portfolio spanning renewable energy, clean coal, nuclear power and national security capabilities, B&W is a leader with differentiated services that distinguish it from its peers.”
