Jo will lead the SSRO during a significant period for defence, the organisation and the single source procurement framework in delivering the aims of the Strategic Defence Review, Defence Industrial Strategy and Defence Investment Plan. She will work closely with the Board, colleagues and our stakeholders across government and industry.
Jo said:
“I’m excited to be taking on responsibility at this critical time and to have the opportunity to lead such a committed and talented team of experts.
“I’m looking forward to working with my SSRO colleagues to continue delivering effective regulation and supporting the long-term success of the single source defence procurement framework as well as supporting both the Ministry of Defence and industry in their application of the regime.
“I’ll be supported by Ben Johnson, who will serve as Acting Chief Regulatory Officer, during this period as we work together to drive forward our Corporate Plan priorities.“
