Sally Librera

As President of National Grid’s New York business, Sally leads one of the largest energy companies in the United States, managing a team of over 11,000 employees to oversee the delivery of electricity and natural gas to 4.2 million New York residents and businesses. The company’s New York service area spans from Niagara Falls to the forks of Long Island.   

Prior to her time at National Grid, Sally served as Senior Vice President and Transit Market Sector Leader at AECOM, where she focused on the design and delivery of complex, sustainable infrastructure projects and forging public-private partnerships. In this role she focused on shepherding in innovative, cost-effective, and resilient transit solutions for providers, riders, and systems. She joined AECOM in January 2022 from HNTB, where she led the NY/NJ Rail Infrastructure Practice. As the former Senior Vice President for Subways at MTA New York City Transit, Sally was the first woman to oversee North America’s largest urban rail transit operation, leading a team of 30,000 employees and serving nearly six million daily riders. She guided the NYC subways team through a dramatic performance turnaround; Sally and her team significantly improved on time performance, cut train delays in half, and safely reduced customer journey times on every line in the system. Sally also led MTA’s Staten Island Railway, a 24/7 heavy rail operation, and has served in executive posts focusing on safety management, transportation policy, workforce development, operations efficiencies, and reliability-based maintenance.     

Sally earned her Bachelor’s in Industrial and Labor Relations from Cornell University and two Master’s degrees from the University of California, Berkeley: one in Civil Engineering and the other in City and Regional Planning.   

In her role, Sally is responsible for the financial, operational and customer-focused performance of the New York business and manages relationships with regulators, government officials and the communities National Grid serves. She is committed to ensuring the delivery of safe, reliable, resilient and affordable energy to all customers, as well as advancing National Grid’s and New York’s clean energy goals.
