  • Graham Love is the Chief Executive Officer of QinetiQ Group plc. He is a graduate of Cambridge University and a chartered accountant. In the late 1980s he was part of the senior management team that expanded Weber Shandwick through a major acquisition programme involving the purchase of over 30 public relations agencies worldwide acting as its finance director. In 1992, Love joined the UK Government's Defence Research Agency as Finance Director and continued in the role when the agency expanded into Defence Evaluation and Research Agency (DERA). He was appointed Managing Director of the support services division (DSSD) in 1995. Two years later, he led the successful buy-out of DSSD from DERA to form Comax Secure Business Services Ltd. He subsequently led the team which negotiated the sale of Comax to Amey plc. In 2001, Love rejoined DERA as Chief Financial Officer, subsequently playing a key role in the formation of QinetiQ and the sale of a controlling interest to The Carlyle Group. Controversially, his £106,000 investment in the company was later worth £20m at floatation. Approximately £6m worth were sold in January 2007. In 2005, Love became Chief Executive of QinetiQ, as the company moved to IPO. A running joke amongst QinetiQ employees is that he signs off his e-mails with "The Love", and he is referred to as The Love in casual conversation.
