04/02/2009 - Managing Director appointed to new JISC Services Company
As part of JISC’s ongoing strategy to deliver world-class services to the further and higher education sector - a new JISC Services Management Company will be launched in August 2009.
JISC has announced the appointment of Guy Lambert as the new managing director to lead this new company.
Guy has spent his career in commercial and managerial roles at UK board level within the IT industry, both within the public and private sectors.
His roles with Honeywell, Bull, Steria and the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) have all involved managing operational improvement programmes and cultural change alongside delivery of a variety of services to clients.
Guy Lambert, managing director of JISC Services said, “I am delighted to be joining JISC and I am looking forward to working with the services to build this new company.
“The key is to share the exceptional and often unique skills we have to offer and build on our strengths to ensure we are receptive to our customers’ needs.
“At the same time we will build a collective identity across the six services we are bringing together - to strengthen the new company’s brand identity and thus give a clearer and more coherent message about JISC’s services capabilities to our customers.”
Recently, Guy worked for the FCO during a major change initiative, when its services business, reconstituted as a Trading Fund, helping it to develop a commercial approach to business management within a set of traditional core values.
JISC TechDis would like to congratulate Guy on his appointment, and we look forward to working closely with him in the future.
