EIT European Institute of Innovation and Technol : Climate-KIC has a new CEO

Dr Kirsten Dunlop joins EIT Climate-KIC as its new Chief Executive Officer today.

Kirsten joins from Suncorp , an Australian financial services conglomerate, where she was the Executive General Manager Strategic Innovation.

At Suncorp, which is itself a long-standing partner of EIT Climate-KIC , Kirsten was instrumental in the formation of Climate-KIC Australia, based on the proven Climate-KIC model from the European Union.

Kirsten succeeds Ian Short, who led EIT Climate-KIC for just over one year as interim CEO and successfully oversaw the transition of EIT Climate-KIC towards a single entity for Europe, from a number of different partner-based organisations.

A joint British-Australian national, Kirsten's career spans academia, consulting, banking, insurance, design, innovation and leadership across Europe, Australia and North America.
