Worldwide ERC (WERC) has appointed Anupam Singhal as its next CEO, following Lynn Shotwell’s resignation from the position last year. He had served as interim CEO since her departure and has been part of the WERC board for several years.
In an announcement made on Monday (February 5), WERC said it had carried out an ‘exhaustive external search process’, led by Ashli Aldrich, WERC Chair, and Mark Burchell.
‘The entire board is excited about his appointment based on Anupam’s outstanding leadership qualities, integrity, experience, continuity, commitment, collaboration, engagement, and strategic vision,’ said Aldrich.
‘The board is emphasising continuity and stability in this leadership transition to ensure the unwavering pursuit of WERC’s strategic goals and mission.
‘Anupam’s collaborative leadership style, high levels of integrity, and consistent engagement with members align perfectly with WERC’s objectives. His strategic vision focuses on sustainable growth, innovation, and achieving strategic plan goals.
‘We anticipate that this leadership transition will accelerate WERC’s progress, particularly as we enter our 60th anniversary year, and we are confident that Anupam’s appointment will mark the beginning of a new chapter of success and sustainable growth for WERC.’
Singhal’s background includes innovation, key operating roles, private equity investing, and service on the WERC board of directors.
