Cowley, one foot out of the industry, joins Architelos

Kevin Murphy, October 21, 2014, 10:40:31 (UTC), Gossip

Former Nominet CEO Lesley Cowley has become a consultant for Architelos, as part of a raft of domain and non-domain industry positions she’s taken on.
Primarily, Cowley has become chair of the UK’s Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency — a public-sector role with a vague conceptual relationship with domain names (ie, managing lots of unique identifiers).
At Architelos, a provider of registry management software and services, she will be a “executive coach and consultant”, Cowley wrote in a blog post.
She will also remain a volunteer with ICANN, where she’s the former chair and current councilor of the ccNSO.
Cowley has also been named a non-executive director of aql, a data center in Leeds, UK.
She announced her resignation in May, after 12 years as Nominet CEO. Her replacement has not yet been named.
