Another Millbrook graduate steps up from Chief of Defence to Chief of the Government Communications Security Bureau (GCSB).

Lt Gen Mateparae is the second graduate from the Institute’s Strategic Leadership Programme at Millbrook to become Chief of Defence and then move on to become the Director of the GCSB. Sir Bruce Ferguson was the previous Chief of Defence and is the current Chief of the GCSB.

The GCSB is responsible for intercepting foreign communications which feeds into a United States-led international web of intelligence.

The transition into this role is taking place in the beginning of May 2011. Congratulations to Lieutenant General Jerry Mateparae on his next appointment and ongoing success with his strategic leadership.
