Britain named Anne Keast-Butler as the primary feminine director of its GCHQ intelligence company on Tuesday.

She at the moment serves as deputy director basic at Britain’s MI5 intelligence company. “Anne Keast-Butler has an impressive track record at the heart of the UK’s national security network, helping to counter threats posed by terrorists, cyber-criminals and malign foreign powers,” stated Foreign Secretary James Cleverly, who made the appointment.

“She is the ideal candidate to lead GCHQ, and Anne will use her vast experience to help keep the British public safe.” Keast-Butler will take over the position in May, in accordance with a GCHQ assertion, succeeding Jeremy Fleming who in January introduced his deliberate departure after six years within the position.
