Jaime has quickly demonstrated an innate ability to grasp the intricacies of OET’s operations, implementing strategies that streamline processes, drive key initiatives and empower staff. 

As Interim CEO, Jaime’s blend of strong business acumen and strategic insight will be instrumental in maintaining the momentum of OET’s ongoing projects and initiatives during this transitional phase.  

On his appointment as interim CEO, Jaime shared: “I am honored to be entrusted with ensuring OET’s continued success and progress towards our strategic goals. Under Sujata’s leadership for the past 11 years, we’ve seen remarkable growth and transformation. I’m fully committed to ensuring stability and supporting our steady progress to the next phase of OET’s transformation.” 

As previously announced, our recruitment process for a new CEO is ongoing. The CBLA Board and the Executive team are dedicated to ensuring a seamless transition, with Jaime expected to carry out an interim leadership period of approximately three months.
