Government CEO Andy Ralphs has resigned from his role and will leave at the end of the month.
Ralphs, who only joined the government in 2023, is replaced by DfE chief Mark Lewin.
Mr Ralphs said: “It has been a privilege to lead the public service over the last 18 months and it has not been an easy decision to reach.
“However, following the bereavement of a close family member I need to take some time out before moving on to a new challenge, and importantly will continue to live and contribute to the island that is now my home.”
Hello Mark
Welcoming the new interim CEO, Chief Minister Alf Cannan said: “Mark has a rich breadth and depth of experience both in and outside the public sector.
“Alongside his eight years’ service as a chief officer, and four years prior to that leading Government’s Technology Services, Mark’s experience in technology and digital transformation is well suited to our efforts to modernise services for the public and deliver on our target of £50 million in savings over the next five years.
“I am grateful to Mark for stepping up to serve as interim Chief Executive Officer while we work to recruit a permanent successor.”
Mr Lewin added: “There is a great deal of work underway to support the Council of Ministers in the delivery of the Island Plan, and to continue the journey of improving the quality and efficiency of public services.
“I am looking forward to continuing to play my part in this work and leading the dedicated and talented team of public servants who work together for our island.”
