The Finance and Core Services (FCS) team has announced that Maria Burgess is leaving Cochrane after seven years, deciding to enjoy other aspects of her life.

Maria has been a part of Cochrane since 2009 when she joined Cochrane UK. She has worked with the Central Executive team (CET) as Core Services/Office Manager for the last three years, and before that was part of the administrative team in the Cochrane Collaboration Secretariat in Oxford.

During this time, she has provided administrative management and support to a number of CET staff and teams, as well as supporting the change in leadership in the FCS team in late 2015 and the many changes to systems and process in FCS over the last seven months.

Maria’s last day with us will be 22 July.  Please join us in thanking Maria for her passionate contribution to Cochrane, and in wishing her every happiness and success for the future.

FCS are taking the opportunity to review how this role supports Cochrane’s future plans,  and there will be a further announcement in due course. For all relevant enquiries in the meantime, please email the team at admin@cochrane.org.

Head of Finance and Core Services
