CPRIT names new CEO
(AUSTIN) Today, the governing body of the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas (CPRIT) approved Kristen Doyle as the new CPRIT Chief Executive Officer beginning July 1. Ms. Doyle, currently Deputy Executive Officer and General Counsel, will succeed Wayne Roberts who will step down on June 30 after 12 years as chief executive.
“The Oversight Committee makes many important decisions,” said Roberts, “but perhaps none more important than who leads the talented CPRIT team. Kristen is the most qualified person to steer CPRIT through the next decade. She has vast institutional knowledge of the agency, the workings of the Capitol community, the life science ecosystem, and cancer research and prevention. With her passion for CPRIT’s mission I know she’s the right person at the right time.”
