Bossenmaier appointed Chief of CSE
Greta Bossenmaier has been appointed Chief of CSE effective 9 February 2015.
Bossenmaier is currently Senior Associate Deputy Minister of International Development at the Department of Foreign Affairs, Development and Trade. She was Deputy Minister of the Privy Council Office's Afghanistan Task Force from June 2009 to January 2012, and she began her career as a defence scientist in DND's Operational Research and Analysis Establishment. (More bio information here.)
Bossenmaier replaces the current Chief, John Forster, who is to become the Deputy Minister of National Defence effective 2 February 2015.
Forster spent only three years in the job at CSE (he became Chief on 30 January 2012), but his transfer to National Defence is a significant promotion and therefore presumably not an indication of any dissatisfaction with his performance at CSE.
Bossenmaier will be the 9th Chief CSE/Director CBNRC—and the first woman in the role—in the agency's 68-year history:

OK, it's taken me nearly a year even though I've been calling it Spook Central for ... ever. I hope Mrs. Bossenmaier has the corner office in the Penthouse.
