On behalf of the iRAP Board, I would like to share an update on the executive leadership arrangements for the charity with you and all our valued partners worldwide.  

In recent months, Rob McInerney has stepped back from his full-time duties as CEO for family reasons. With that need likely to extend until January 2026 the Board is pleased to announce the appointment of Greg Smith as iRAP CEO for that period.

With more than 20 years of iRAP experience, Greg is a leader known for his ability to inspire, empower and energise the team and partners worldwide. Greg has been a central part of iRAP’s positive impact over many years through his national, regional and global programme and strategic project leadership roles.  Greg brings a unique blend of engineering and public policy skills and experience to the role and the Board has full confidence in his ability to lead iRAP forward in our lifesaving work.

Rob will continue supporting the charity’s vision part-time as iRAP’s new Chief of Future Impact. This will include a focus on the new partnerships needed to support the forthcoming UN Decade of Action for Sustainable Transport through to 2035, the use of artificial intelligence and AiRAP to scale the charity’s impact globally and initiatives focussed on maximising the safe and sustainable mobility outcomes and legacy of major events such as the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games in Rob’s home town.

We congratulate Greg and Rob on their new roles and look forward to continuing our crucial life-saving work with you all to create a world free of high-risk roads.

Miquel Nadal
Chair, iRAP
