“I am delighted to be appointed the first ever CEO of the FIA at such an important and exciting time for the Federation.

In addition, according to the FIA, the newly-appointed CEO will also develop ‘new commercial growth plans’ in a bid to increase and diversify the organisation’s revenue streams – and provide more ‘resources’ for its members.

“The appointment of Natalie Robyn as our first ever CEO is a transformative moment for our Federation.
“Her extensive experience and leadership will be crucial to improving our finances, governance and operations.
