The Society for Underwater Technology (SUT) has Dr Cheryl Burgess as its new chief executive effective from January next year.
She brings with her over three decades’ experience in the energy industry, including in offshore and onshore oil and gas operations, renewables and utilities.
Dr Burgess takes over from Steve Hall who has held the post for the past four years.
As former director general of the Pipeline Industries Guild, as well years with UK Trade & Investment and the Society of British Gas Industries, it’s hoped Dr Burgess will bring benefit to the SUT’s international Branches and interests.
She is also committed to engaging students, graduates and young professionals in the industries the society represents.
