This was reduced to five people, on interview, and then further cut to two candidates from which the selection is now being made.
“We have been pleasantly surprised at the calibre of the applicants,” says the departing MIA head, Kerr.
“Any one of the final five people could have done the job,” he adds.
While the appointment will be announced next week, Kerr will continue with the MIA until June next year to effect a smooth hand-over to the new chief executive.
