The former assistant director of the Education Authority (EA) has been named the new chief executive of the Council for Catholic Maintained Schools.
Eve Bremner succeeds Gerry Campbell, who left earlier this year to become the north's new exams chief.
Ms Bremner has significant experience of education and the wider public sector, having held senior leadership positions in the EA, CCMS and local councils.
Most recently, she was EA assistant director with responsibility for leading and developing frontline services, including school transport, and strategic transformation projects.
Ms Bremner was also director of area planning and development in CCMS and held several senior positions in Belfast City Council, where she established multi-agency Community Safety Partnerships, supported the transformation of leisure provision, and implemented local government reform.
She said she is "delighted to have been appointed and to be returning to CCMS".
"I am fortunate to be joining a team of committed professionals, both at headquarters and throughout our schools, who are passionate about providing inclusive school environments that enrich the lives of pupils and wider communities," she said.
