The Defence Science and Technology Laboratory has announced that chief executive Gary Aitkenhead has stepped down from his role to take a new job in the private sector.
In a brief statement, the arm’s length body sponsored by the Ministry of Defence said yesterday that Aitkenhead was joining an unnamed “global technology company”.
Dstl said chief operating officer Doug Umbers would step up as interim chief executive while a successor to Aitkenhead was sought. The organisational structure on the laboratory s website suggested that the change had taken place with immediate effect.
