Cogstate announced the appointment of Mr. Ben Bloomfield has been appointed as Chief Technology Officer (CTO) effective 11 January 2021. The appointment of a permanent CTO replaces the interim role that has been in place since January 2020, where recruitment of that role was disrupted by the pandemic.
