Gallaf gadarnhau fod y broses i recriwtio Cadeirydd parhaol ar gyfer Bwrdd Cwmni Trafnidiaeth Cymru wedi dechrau.   
  
Fel y dywed Erthyglau Cymdeithasu’r Cwmni a’r Cytundeb Rheoli sy’n rheoli’r berthynas rhwng Llywodraeth Cymru a Trafnidiaeth Cymru, mae Gweinidogion Cymru’n cadw’r hawl i benodi neu ddiswyddo cyfarwyddwyr Bwrdd Cwmni Trafnidiaeth Cymru.   
  
O gofio proffil uchel a disgwyliadau’r rôl, rwy’n teimlo y dylai’r broses recriwtio ddilyn y Cod Llywodraethu Penodiadau Cyhoeddus.   
  
Ceir cyfle yn y fan hon i fanteisio ar lwyddiant y broses gaffael a ddefnyddiwyd i benodi Partner Gweithredu a Darparu gwasanaethau rheilffyrdd Cymru a’r Gororau er mwyn denu ymgeiswyr o’r ansawdd uchaf i ymgeisio am swydd y Cadeirydd Parhaol.  Rydyn ni’n chwilio am arweinydd eithriadol i oruchwylio’r gwaith o drawsnewid ein rhwydweithiau trafnidiaeth ond gan sicrhau bod Trafnidiaeth Cymru’n cadw at ei egwyddorion dros bobl, dros leoedd a thros Gymru.   
  
Rydyn ni felly’n chwilio am unigolion sydd â phrofiad o roi arweiniad strategol ar lefel uchaf llywodraeth, academia neu fyd busnes yn sectorau seilwaith economaidd (fel ynni, trafnidiaeth, cyfathrebu digidol) neu faes cysylltiedig (fel economeg, cynllunio, cyllido prosiectau/seilwaith, adwerthu, peirianneg, technoleg neu arloesi).   
  
Mae Panel Cynghori hynod brofiadol wedi’i benodi i helpu’r broses ddewis a bydd y canlynol yn aelodau ohono: Nicola Shaw CBE, Cyfarwyddwr Gweithredol yn y Grid Cenedlaethol, David Jones OBE, Prif Weithredwr Coleg Cambria ac Ardal Fenter Glannau Dyfrdwy, Geraint Davies CBE, Cyfarwyddwr Anweithredol Maes Awyr Caerdydd a Simon Jones, Cyfarwyddwr Seilwaith Economaidd Llywodraeth Cymru.   
Caiff Cadeirydd parhaol Bwrdd Cwmni Trafnidiaeth Cymru ei benodi pan ddaw tymor y Cadeirydd Interim i ben ar 07 Ionawr 2019\.  Byddaf yn cysylltu eto ag Aelodau pan fydd ymgeisydd llwyddiannus wedi’i ddewis.   








Translation:


 
I can confirm that the process to recruit a permanent Chair to the Transport for Wales (TfW) Company Board has begun.  

  

As set out in the Company’s Articles of Association and Management Agreement governing the relationship between the Welsh Government and TfW, the Welsh Ministers reserve the rights to appoint and dismiss directors of the TfW Company Board.  

  

Given the high profile and expectations of the role, it is my preference that the recruitment process should follow the Public Appointments Code of Governance.  

  

There is an opportunity to maximise on the successful procurement of the Operator \& Delivery Partner for the Wales \& Borders rail services to attract high calibre candidates to the role of permanent Chair. We want a leader of outstanding merit who can oversee the delivery of true transformation across our transport networks, while holding TfW to its principles to exist for people, for places and for Wales.  

  

We are therefore looking for individuals with experience of strategic leadership at senior levels of government, academia or business in sectors of economic infrastructure (such as energy, transport, digital communications) or a related field (such as economics, planning, project/infrastructure finance, retail, engineering, technology and innovation).  

  

A highly experienced Advisory Panel has been appointed to support the selection process comprising of the following members; Nicola Shaw CBE, Executive Director at National Grid, David Jones OBE, Chief Executive Coleg Cambria \& Deeside Enterprise Zone, Geraint Davies CBE, Non\-Executive Director to Cardiff Airport and Simon Jones, Director of Economic Infrastructure at Welsh Government.  

  

The appointment of a permanent Chair to the TfW Company Board will be made when the term of the Interim Chair ends on 07 January 2019\.  I will update Members again when a decision has been made on a successful candidate.
