Suda joined the AGO in 2011 and currently serves as the Toronto gallery’s curator of European Art and chair of prints and drawings.
She earned a PhD at New York University’s Institute of Fine Arts, and her career began at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in Manhattan.
In a statement on the National Gallery of Canada’s website, Suda called it a privilege to lead the institution.
“A thrilling adventure awaits us – one that builds on a rich tradition, a world-class collection, and the dedication of the institution’s incredible staff,” she said.
Suda is set to start her five-year term at the Ottawa museum in April.
