New CEO Takes Over AT CPRIT
(AUSTIN) Kristen Doyle has assumed the role of chief executive officer of the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas after former CEO Wayne Roberts stepped down on June 30 in a planned transition. Doyle, an attorney and longtime employee of the agency, had most recently served as CPRIT’s deputy executive officer and general counsel. Roberts announced his departure earlier this year and in May the CPRIT governing board unanimously voted to hire Doyle as his replacement.
“I am honored by the confidence entrusted to me by the Oversight Committee and the opportunity to lead this agency,” said Doyle. “I am excited by the challenges and possibilities that lie ahead for this agency as we continue our mission of conquering cancer for all Texans.”
