The International Hydropower Association has begun the search to identify its next Chief Executive Officer.    

IHA’s current CEO, Richard M Taylor, has announced his intention to step down and to work as an independent consultant by the end of 2019.

In a letter to members, IHA President Ken Adams praised Richard Taylor’s contribution to the growth and development of the association since it was formed in 1995, stating that “The Board, on behalf of all members, thanks him for his amazing contribution to the association and the hydropower sector”.

Richard Taylor will continue his responsibilities until a successor is identified. He is also expected to assist the new CEO in a consultative capacity through 2020.

The company Spencer Stuart International has been appointed to lead the recruitment process, which is overseen by the IHA Board through its governance and finance committee.
