Naturally, I will be more visible at the event, opening sessions and being the keynote speaker. What do you think has helped propel you to this role, and what do you think got you the job? RM: I have been active in the council for more than 10 years, and when I started I looked up to the Presidents at the time and never thought I would end up in that role. But I have really enjoyed engaging with the organisation, taking part in studies, committee work, general assemblies and convincing other members to take the most out of the membership. It’s about getting involved in activities, which creates a valuable business and personal network. My curiosity and willingness to get involved was crucial to getting onto the Board, because we were a relatively small company and many of the Board seats are occupied by people from huge organisations. I like to think that I earned my place on the Board and now as President, through hard work and my creative input. I believe that three years of active participation on the Board apparently convinced the other Board members that I would be a good President and I thank them for their trust. I’m also really grateful to the management of IQGeo that I am getting their full support to take up this role. I’m looking forward to an exciting year and a great event in Berlin in March! from the industry
