About Nicky Roche CBE, CEO OF TDF2014LTD

Nicky grew up in Yorkshire and joined the civil service after graduating in History from the University of York. Building on a varied career in public service, Nicky joined the Department for Culture, Media and Sport in 2004 as Director of Sport. This culminated in her taking a defining role in leading the co-ordination of the day-to day operations across all the delivery partners for the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. She describes this as the ultimate team effort, with everyone focused on the end goal of making the country proud and doing the best job possible. Nicky draws many parallels from this experience for the Tour de France team.

She was awarded the CBE in the 2013 New Year’s honours list for services to the staging of the London Olympic and Paralympic Games.
