Bruntwood SciTech chief executive Phil Kemp has announced he will step down after two years in the hot seat to pursue a portfolio career.
Kemp will leave the business in September and remain in an advisory capacity role for a further six months to support the leadership team and help hunt for his replacement.
Bruntwood SciTech’s finance director, Kate Lawlor, will take on the role of interim chief operating officer and will be supported by Chris Oglesby as executive chair.
Oglesby said Kemp’s departure is a “bittersweet moment” for the business, with Kemp having played a “significant role” in forming Bruntwood SciTech.
“He leaves Bruntwood SciTech in a fantastic position. It remains the UK’s only dedicated science and technology property platform, nurturing a network of thriving innovation districts with a growing reach across the country,” Oglesby continued. “We’re ready to push on with the next phase of its ambitious plans and look forward to welcoming a new CEO in the months ahead.”
