Jenny Rowlands, who has served as Camden Council's chief executive since 2019, will depart from her role at the end of summer 2023 after eight years with the council. In her farewell statement, she expressed pride in the council's commitment to its residents and staff, highlighting the collaborative efforts to foster diversity and reflect the community's values. She praised her colleagues for their dedication, stating that public service is her lifelong calling. The council will begin recruitment for her successor while she continues to serve in her position during this transition.
It has been the privilege of my working life to be the chief executive at the London Borough of Camden. It is an amazing place where residents, partners, elected members, and our fantastic staff come together to care for each other, challenge injustice, and deliver great services.
We have built an organisation which at its core is focused on people, relationships, and power-sharing, and capable of meeting the energy and pace of Camden's citizens.
I have had the privilege of working with partners, councillors, and Camden staff who have met every challenge with humility, grace, and commitment. Their passion, energy, and example will stay with me always.
I am excited to see the organisation and partners grow and contribute to the national agenda.
