 Regina Finn: Chief Executive
Before joining Ofwat Regina Finn was one of three members of the Commission for Energy Regulation which is working closely with its Northern Ireland counterpart, Ofreg, to develop an all-island energy market on the island of Ireland – a groundbreaking project within the European energy market.
Before joining the Commission in 2005, Regina worked in Guernsey in the Channel Islands where she advised the Government on the development of regulation for telecommunications, post and electricity. She established an entirely new regulatory authority and headed it up as Director General for four years.
Regina has also worked as Head of Market Operations with the Irish telecommunications regulatory authority (now ComReg, then the Office of the Director of Telecommunications Regulation - ODTR) where she was involved in building up the organisation's capabilities as well as overseeing the liberalisation of Ireland's telecommunications market and the introduction of extensive competition into that sector.
Prior to its establishment she worked in the Department of Communications where she was responsible for developing the telecommunications regulatory framework based on the European framework, and for setting up Ireland's first sectoral regulator, the ODTR.
Regina's earlier career in the Irish civil service included regulating the cable and wireless TV sector, working on health policy and legislation, and working as a computer systems analyst.
Regina holds qualifications in Financial Information Systems from Trinity College, Dublin.
