Oxford University’s Blavatnik School of Government has announced the appointment of Ms Rebecca Kitteridge CVO to the role of Professor of Practice in Public Policy.
Ms Kitteridge is currently a Deputy Public Service Commissioner, having previously headed the New Zealand Security Intelligence Service and the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet, and is a former Secretary of the Cabinet.
Public Service Commissioner Sir Brian Roche congratulated Rebecca on her prestigious appointment, which he said was a testament not only to her but also the quality of New Zealand’s Public Service.
“Rebecca has a wealth of experience, knowledge, and passion, and has made a very significant contribution to the leadership of the New Zealand Public Service,” he said.
“I’m really pleased that she will now be able to share this internationally. This is not only a recognition of her skills and leadership, it is also a reflection on the calibre of our people in the public service.
“Our loss is Oxford University’s gain. I thank Rebecca for her dedicated service and wish her the best.”
Oxford University has appointed Ms Kitteridge for a term of 3 years.
