Staffordshire CC has announced the appointment of Pat Flaherty as its next chief executive.
Mr Flaherty, who was born and raised in Staffordshire, will make the move from his current post of chief executive at Harrow LBC in the summer.
He served as chief executive of Somerset CC for almost a decade before joining Harrow last year.
Staffordshire leader Alan White said: ‘We are delighted to welcome Pat to Staffordshire CC and back to his home county.
‘His excellent track record of local government experience and leadership is precisely what we need to deliver our ambitious plans for Staffordshire and our people.’
Mr Flaherty will replace John Henderson, who has been chief executive since May 2015.
He said: ‘I am delighted to be returning home to Staffordshire.
‘John will be a hard act to follow.’
