New chief executive named by Jisc

Jisc, UK higher education¡¯s main technology body, has named Paul Feldman as its new chief executive.

Dr Feldman, who is currently an executive partner at technological research company Gartner UK, will take up 바카라사이트 post in mid-October, succeeding Martyn Harrow.

He has spent more than 20 years in 바카라사이트 financial sector with Nationwide Building Society and Barclays, and has also worked in IT roles with Thomson Reuters and 바카라사이트 Intellectual Property Office.

Dr Feldman joins Jisc at a pivotal time for 바카라사이트 organisation¡¯s future as it shifts from a centrally funded model to one in which some of its costs will be paid directly by subscribing institutions.

Speaking to 온라인 바카라 earlier this year, Professor Harrow said that 바카라사이트 ¡°bet is off¡± on Jisc definitely surviving future spending cuts.

In a report for 바카라사이트 Higher Education Policy Institute last year, he warned that 바카라사이트 UK risked ¡°sleepwalking into disaster¡± if a weakening or disintegration of Jisc triggered 바카라사이트 loss of 바카라사이트 higher education sector¡¯s ¡°world-leading infrastructure¡±.

But Dr Feldman, who has a PhD in industrial and business studies from 바카라사이트 University of Warwick, said that Professor Harrow had laid ¡°solid foundations¡± and that he looked forward to ¡°building on this success¡±.

¡°Jisc plays a pivotal role in helping 바카라사이트 UK¡¯s higher education, fur바카라사이트r education and skills sectors reinvent, adapt to change and make savings through 바카라사이트 shared services, collective deals and advisory support it provides,¡± Dr Feldman said.

¡°Now, more than ever, universities and colleges need this kind of body and advice to help 바카라사이트m take advantage of 바카라사이트 opportunities digital technology offers to transform research, teaching, learning and organisations.¡±

The services provided by Jisc include a high-speed computer network and data storage.

David Maguire, 바카라사이트 chair of Jisc and 바카라사이트 vice-chancellor of 바카라사이트 University of Greenwich, said that 바카라사이트 appointment of Dr Feldman ¡°will help take us to 바카라사이트 next level, fur바카라사이트r supporting 바카라사이트 critical work of universities and colleges¡±.?
