SA innovation agency struggling to fill senior positions

‘Critical’ positions still occupied by placeholders, parliamentarians hear

The Technology Innovation Agency is struggling to fill senior positions, including for the chief executive officer and board chair, officials have told MPs.

Stephen John Lennon, the board chair, made the remarks on 10 March at parliament after the portfolio committee on higher education, science, and technology requested a follow-up meeting with TIA officials after becoming aware of the agency’s woes.
