November 28, 2005
ATTORNEY-AT-LAW Greg Christie has been appointed the new Contractor General, replacing Derrick McKoy who recently stepped down from the post after seven years.
Governor-General Sir Howard Cooke is scheduled to swear in the new Contractor General at King's House on Wednesday.
Mr. Christie was reportedly chosen for his background in corporate management, work in the local bauxite industry, and experience in project management and procurement.
He was previously vice-president and assistant general counsel with the Global Commodities Business Unit of the Kaiser Aluminium and Chemical Corporation in Florida.
Before working with Kaiser, he was the founder and chairman of a Jamaica credit reporting firm.
He has lectured full-time for 10 years at the University of the West Indies (UWI) Law Faculty in Jamaica, Barbados and Trinidad. He has also worked in the region as a legal consultant for private and public sector organisations, including the United Nations.
