Government contractor Serco said CEO Rupert Soames would retire in September 2023 and step down both from the board at the end of this December 2022. He will be succeeded by Mark Irwin, who is currently the CEO of the company’s UK & Europe Division.
“It has been the privilege of my working life to lead Serco for the last eight years, but it is now time for me to outsource myself,” Soames said in a statement.
Anthony Kirby will move from his role as group chief operating officer to become chief executive of Serco’s UK & Europe business.
