This announcement was made by Head of the Presidential Secretariat, Dr. Roger Luncheon at his post-Cabinet press briefing yesterday at Office of the President.

Known for holding several concurrent portfolios, Burrowes had been serving as Chairman of GO-Invest, but Dr Luncheon explained that he has been relieved of that appointment, and is now only the CEO.

GO-Invest was established under the Public Corporations Act of 1994 as a semi-autonomous body and falls directly under the purview of Office of the President.

The CEO answers to a Board of Directors, which comprises representatives of both the private and public sectors.

Over the years, Mr Burrowes held several managerial positions in the public, private and diplomatic sectors, and also sat on the boards of several entities both in the public and private sectors. These include Chairman of the Board of Directors at the Guyana National Newspapers Limited (GNNL) – the Printer and Publisher of the Chronicle newspapers; Chairman of the Guyana National Co-operative Bank (GNCB); General Manager of GAIBANK/GNCB; and Head of the Health Sector Development Unit within the Ministry of Health. He was also the Financial Administrator of PAHO Guyana Office.

In August 2012, Burrowes was appointed advisor to President Donald Ramotar on financial matters. He is also known for his work in the probe into the discrepancies at the Georgetown City Council where he Chaired the Commission of Inquiry into the Operations of the Mayor and City Council, and later Head of its Debt Recovery Unit.
