He joined the firm in 2006 as group finance director and more recently was managing director of its Australasia operations.
"I am honoured to have been selected as CEO," said Mr Godfrey.
"We are an organisation guided by our mission to deliver sustainable, elite sports surfaces across the world through our design and consultancy services and by spearheading the development of cutting-edge research trials for the advancement of the international sports industry."
STRI group director, Lee Penrose, welcomed the appointment.
