News comes as housing association signs joint venture deal for 323 homes in South London
Ian Johnson will retire from Metropolitan Thames Valley Housing (MTVH) after a decade as its chief financial officer.
He will step down from the role in the autumn once a successor has been appointed.
Johnson has held a variety of senior commercial roles over his 40-year career, including as commercial director of North America for housebuilder Taylor Wimpey in the early 2000s.
He said: “Serving as chief financial officer for a values-based organisation like MTVH has been a great privilege.
“In a sector facing several competing pressures, stewarding MTVH’s finances has involved many challenging decisions, however it has been wonderful to see our residents always at the forefront of our thinking.”
MTVH’s chief executive, Mel Barrett, is leading the search and selection process for Johnson’s replacement, supported by other board members.
The news comes as MTVH announced it has signed multiple deals with housebuilder Vistry Group to deliver 323 homes at its £1.2bn Clapham Park regeneration scheme in South London.
The first joint venture-delivered phase will have 77% affordable housing, including 66 homes for affordable rent and 62 for shared ownership provided by the JV. Meanwhile, 122 shared ownership units have been forward sold to Thriving Investments and Gresham House. The remaining 73 homes will be for open market sale.
