A recruitment process to find his successor has begun, with the spy chief set to stand down from his role this summer after being appointed in 2017.
Sir Jeremy Fleming is to stand down as the director of GCHQ after six years in the role.
The spy chief, who is the 16th person to head up the UK's intelligence, cyber and security agency, will end his tenure in the summer., has today announced his decision to step down at the end of his tenure later this year," GCHQ said in a statement. "In line with normal practice, there will be an internal civil service competition to identify a successor. Sir Jeremy and the board will continue to lead and oversee work at GCHQ until the summer."
Sir Jeremy, who joined MI5 in 1993, has most recently spoken out on Russian President Vladimir Putin's"flawed" decision-making during his invasion of Ukraine. He also warned of the"dangerous" talk of nuclear weapon use during the conflict, while paying tribute to Ukrainian cyber security personnel, and pledged continued support.
