Daryl Hindmarsh from KPMG will assist the senior IT Services team during the next six months pending the appointment of a new Director. Daryl has spent the past year as Acting Director at Warwick University.
Daryl’s primary focus will be to assist in implementing major changes resulting from the Professional Services Review and the recent report by PriceWaterhouseCooper on corporate information systems.
As a result, to ensure clear lines of responsibility and accountability, the post of Acting Director of IT Services has been split into two roles.
Caroline House continues as Acting Director of IT Services (Service Delivery) and Daryl Hindmarsh’s title is Acting Director of IT Services (Transformation). These titles reflect Caroline’s continuing general oversight of IT Services and ongoing operations and Daryl’s role in implementing the change agenda.
Both Caroline and Daryl report to the Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Professor Paul Layzell.
These arrangements will remain in place until the appointment of a new Director of IT Services (who will then assume responsibility for all aspects of IT Services). A specialist executive search firm is assisting with recruitment and an advertisement will appear shortly. Final interviews for the post will be held in early April.
