Sarah Pook, our Executive Director of Finance and Planning, is leaving the University at Christmas, after 11 years in the role. She will take up the position of Finance Director at the University of Winchester in the New Year.
Mark E. Smith, Vice-Chancellor, commented: “There will be plenty of time for fond farewells, but I did want to place on record my deep appreciation for Sarah’s unstinting professionalism and commitment to Southampton over the last 11 years. I know I am not alone in having benefited greatly from her wise counsel and strategic vision, and helping steer us through financially challenging periods.”
Julie Fielder, our Director of Finance, will act as interim Executive Director of Finance and Planning from 1 January 2023.
