Bella Abrams appointed as chief technology officer

We are delighted to announce the appointment of Bella Abrams as Group CTO.

Having held technology roles at both HE and FE organisations, Bella, current director of IT at the University of Sheffield, will bring a strong level of experience to both her new position and Jisc as a whole.

Bella commented:

“I am excited to help Jisc achieve its ambitions, and really deliver for our customers. As a member and follower of Jisc for a huge part of my career, I've always been impressed by the work they do and their culture, and I’m excited to work with the people who make up this great organisation."

Heidi Fraser-Krauss, CEO, said:

“We conducted a rigorous recruitment process to find our new Group CTO, but Bella shone through thanks to her experience and existing knowledge of what we do.

“As an existing Jisc member, she will bring a high level of understanding not only for our organisation, but for our customers, the sectors we support and our accomplishments so far."

Bella will join the organisation and become part of the executive leadership team in December 2024.
