I am delighted to announce some operational restructuring within Pūtahi Manawa – the Centre of Research Excellence for Healthy Hearts Aotearoa New Zealand. Ms Lisa Wong has been appointed as our Research Strategy and Engagement Manager leaving open the position of Research Operations Manager (ROM) which has been filled by Ms Linda Fotherby. Finally, Dr Anuj Bhargava is the lead for Pūtahi Manawa’s Outreach and Education (OnE team) activities.
I would like to congratulate Lisa, Linda and Anuj on their new positions and look forward to working with them. This now provides Pūtahi Manawa with both the flexibility and dynamic range required to maximise new opportunities going forward.
