Daarom ben ik verheugd Greg Smith te kunnen bevestigen als CEO van iRAP en Rob McInerney als Chief of Future Impact.<\/p>\n<p>Met meer dan 20 jaar ervaring bij iRAP staat Greg bekend als een leider die het team en partners wereldwijd weet te inspireren, te motiveren en te enthousiasmeren. Greg heeft door zijn leiderschapsrollen in nationale, regionale en mondiale programma&#039;s en strategische projecten een centrale rol gespeeld in de positieve impact van iRAP. Greg combineert op unieke wijze technische vaardigheden en ervaring op het gebied van overheidsbeleid, en de Raad van Bestuur heeft er alle vertrouwen in dat hij iRAP zal leiden in ons levensreddende werk.<\/p>\n<p>Rob zal de visie van de stichting blijven ondersteunen als Chief of Future Impact bij iRAP. Dit omvat het opbouwen van langdurige partnerschappen met organisaties die zich bezighouden met de ontwikkeling en financiering van infrastructuur voor duurzaam transport, en het gebruik van kunstmatige intelligentie en AiRAP om de impact van de stichting op de verkeersveiligheid wereldwijd te vergroten. Rob zal zich inzetten om de veilige en duurzame mobiliteitsresultaten en de nalatenschap van grote evenementen zoals de Olympische en Paralympische Spelen van Brisbane 2032 in zijn thuisstad te maximaliseren.<\/p>\n<p>Daarnaast heeft Shona Holroyd, na meer dan 15 jaar dienstverband, aangekondigd dat ze eind maart 2026 met pensioen gaat als CFO van iRAP. Ze zal ook haar functies bij de Road Safety Foundation (RSF) en het European Institute of Road Assessment (EIRA) neerleggen.<\/p>\n<p>Shona heeft een ongelooflijke bijdrage geleverd aan de stichting door een cultuur van integriteit, verantwoordelijkheid en vertrouwen te bevorderen. Dankzij haar leiderschap op het gebied van financi\u00ebn, bestuur en personeelszaken is de impact van deze organisaties enorm gegroeid. Het bestuur van iRAP is Shona zeer dankbaar voor haar inzet voor iRAP en het werk van onze partners om de wegen veiliger te maken.<\/p>\n<p>Met genoegen kondig ik aan dat Helen Noble, na een interne wervingsprocedure, vanaf april 2026 de functie van CFO van iRAP zal bekleden, naast functies bij RSF en EIRA.<\/p>\n<p>Helen is een gecertificeerd registeraccountant met meer dan 25 jaar ervaring. Ze werkt al 5 jaar bij iRAP en heeft een diepgaande kennis van alle financi\u00eble aspecten van de organisatie, evenals een grote passie voor de missie van iRAP.<\/p>\n<p>We feliciteren Greg, Rob en Helen met hun nieuwe functies en kijken ernaar uit om in 2026 samen met jullie ons cruciale, levensreddende werk voort te zetten om een wereld zonder gevaarlijke wegen te cre\u00ebren.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Miquel Nadal<\/p>\n<p>Stoel, iRAP<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As we come to the end of 2025, 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.\u00a0\u00a0 Earlier in the year, Rob McInerney temporarily stepped back from his full-time duties as CEO for family reasons, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":6959,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6958","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-global-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.8 (Yoast SEO v27.9) -
