Sir John Chisholm (Chairman):
Sir John became the Chairman of QinetiQ in 2005, after transforming the company in his time as its Chief Executive. He is widely credited with turning the organisation from a collection of research laboratories into a successful commercial business which floated on the London Stock Exchange in February 2006. A Cambridge graduate, Sir John’s career took flight when he formed CAP Scientific Ltd, which grew rapidly to become a core part of the CAP Group plc. He is the immediate past president of the IET and holds a number of Fellowships, including the Royal Academy of Engineering, and became Chairman of the Medical Research Council in October 2006. He was knighted in 1999.
