"Joining the ITO in August 2014, Mark was been instrumental in facilitating the transitional changes required of a recently merged organisation. We would like to thank him for his work over the last two years, through the successful consolidation of the ITO following the mergers with Horticulture ITO and more recently with the NZITO," says Primary ITO chairman, Mark Darrow.
"We are pleased to confirm that Dr Linda Sissons has been appointed interim CEO and started on 1 August," Mark Darrow continues.
Most recently, Dr Sissons held the role of Interim CEO at Taratahi Agricultural Training Centre. Prior to that, she was the chief executive of WelTec and held this position from 1999 until May 2015. She holds a wealth of education management experience gained in both New Zealand and the UK.
The Primary ITO Board has begun recruitment for a new chief executive.
