White has spent 13 years at helm of organisation
Peter White is to step down as CEO of the IABM after 13 years in the role.
In his time at the IABM, White has helped the organisation to more than double its membership, and grow into a global body. It has also navigated the Covid pandemic.
He will stay in the role while the organisation recruits a replacement over the next few months, before providing his time on a regular basis to ensure a smooth transition to the new chief executive.
White said: “Having presided over significant growth and development in IABM and having seen through many of the challenges presented by COVID I think it’s time for a new chapter in my career and I feel it’s also time for IABM to look to a new future under a new CEO.”
White will continue to work in the industry, as well as potentially in the wider commercial and not-for-profit sectors. He stated: “I am particularly keen to apply my knowledge and experience in NED and interim roles to help organisations successfully navigate the challenges that may face them and build a solid growth trajectory. I am really excited about this next chapter in my career.”
Andreas Hilmer, chairman of the IABM members board, said: “We as the representatives of the members of the IABM cannot thank Peter enough for all he has contributed to our organisation. Under his leadership, the IABM developed into a truly international representation of the broadcast and media industry, being by far the largest vendor representation in our place. There are so many great achievements he accomplished in these 13 years that its merely impossible to list them. We have to honour his decision and wish him all the best for his next step. We appreciate that he will not just disappear but support us in steering the IABM through this migration period”
