CSIRO CEO extends her term
CSIRO Chairman Simon McKeon has announced (2 June) that Chief Executive Dr Megan Clark has agreed to extend her term with CSIRO to the end of 2014.
“The Board has full confidence in Dr Clark and supports the continuing execution of the CSIRO strategy which is focused on answering big questions and increasing Australia’s productivity through the organisation’s world-class science capability,” McKeon said.
Under Dr Clark’s leadership over the past four and half years, CSIRO has significantly increased its engagement with industry and the community. Dr Clark has set the CSIRO vision of building five global innovation precincts for Australia in plant and agricultural, resource, environmental, human life and materials and manufacturing sciences. She has also led a strong focus on ensuring the safety and welfare of CSIRO people and affiliates and embedding a values-based culture.
Dr Clark will continue to implement the 2011-15 strategic objectives including providing a platform for the organisation under a future new chief executive to lead the development and implementation of the 2015-2020 Strategic Plan.
