The International Council of Marine Industry Associations today announced that it appointed Joe Lynch CEO, a new position that replaces the secretary general.
“It is a great pleasure to welcome Joe Lynch as the first CEO of ICOMIA,” association president Darren Vaux said in a statement. “We have set an ambitious future vision for ICOMIA with the recent release of our strategic plan and are confident that Joe’s leadership and experience will continually develop and improve ICOMIA’s profile, services and performance in the best interests of our members.”
Lynch has had a long career in the tourism and charity sectors, and has marine industry experience as a charter manager, watersports instructor, and training and flotilla manager.
He takes the CEO position June 15, when acting secretary general Tony Rice steps down.
