After more than three decades in Newfoundland and Labrador’s public service, Julia Mullaley has retired from her most recent position as Newfoundland and Labrador Housing CEO.
Spokesperson Nancy Walsh confirmed in an email to Radio-Canada that Mullaley marked her last day on the job earlier this week, as first reported by allNewfoundlandLabrador.
Mullaley retired “after a distinguished career in the public service of 31 years, including as Auditor General for Newfoundland and Labrador, clerk of the Executive Council and secretary to cabinet, as well as other deputy minister and executive roles within the public service,” wrote Walsh.
Mullaley was appointed as the CEO in March 2020 by then housing minister Lisa Dempster, after holding the post of auditor general for just two years into a 10-year term.
It marked a return to a familiar post for Mullaley, as she had been named acting CEO of N.L. Housing by Premier Dwight Ball in 2016.
Double duty
Mullaley’s replacement has already been brought on.
Alan Doody was appointed as CEO on an acting basis on Jan. 1, wrote Walsh.
“He will continue to serve in his current role as deputy minister of Children, Seniors, and Social Development,” wrote Walsh.
Doody served 20 years in the Canadian Armed Forces before being hired to work for the Newfoundland and Labrador government.
His previous roles in government include associate deputy minister of the Department of Health and Community Services and interim CEO for the Newfoundland and Labrador Centre for Health Information, among others.
