Tokamak Energy Board member Warren East was awarded a knighthood in the King’s New Year Honours List for services to the economy and net-zero.
Previously CEO of Rolls-Royce and Arm, Warren joined Tokamak Energy as Non-Executive Director in May 2023 on the company’s mission to deliver clean and limitless fusion energy and open new fields of performance through transformative high temperature superconducting (HTS) magnet technology.
Warren said: “I’m delighted to receive this honour and pleased to fly the flag for industry in the UK.
“In ARM and Rolls-Royce, I’ve been very lucky to lead two of our stand-out engineering and technology businesses that both punch well above their weight on a global stage. Both are full of incredibly dedicated and extremely capable people worldwide, and of course this honour is really about them.
“Since leaving Rolls-Royce, I remain focussed on engineering and technology, encouraging young people into STEM subjects, and working with businesses enabling the energy transition and climate change mitigation, alongside fundamental technology and essential infrastructure.”
