New Chief Executive Appointed

Susanne, who is currently Chief Officer of Glasgow's Health and Social Care Partnership, will replace Annemarie O' Donnell, who announced earlier this year that she was stepping down from the biggest local government role in Scotland after more than 30 years working for the city.

It is anticipated Susanne will start to take on some of the duties of Chief Executive almost immediately, with a full handover complete before Annemarie retires in early May.

Susanne has spent her entire career working in social work and social care services in the city - starting in residential care for older people, then working with vulnerable children and families.

After holding strategy and planning roles, she became the Head of Children's Services and Head of Homelessness and Asylum Services.
