Fiata appoints new director general
Fiata president Basil Pietersen: “After an extensive recruitment process, it is my pleasure to announce the appointment of Stéphane Graber as the new director general of Fiata. He will take up his role in Geneva on 1 January 2020.”
With the decision taken by Fiata’s members at the general meeting on 5 October to move its headquarters to Geneva in 2020, the new director general will head up Fiata’s initiative to align itself more closely with international governmental and non-governmental organisations linked to international trade and trade logistics.
“Graber brings to Fiata a strong background in information technology, training and development and finance. As a previous secretary general in a not-for-profit and non-governmental body involved in commodity trading and shipping, he has that in-depth understanding of logistics and the movement of goods across borders,” said Pietersen.
