Currently, as we experience the world’s economy being seriously impacted by Covid-19, I am more confident than ever about the significant role of UFI and importance of the exhibitions it supports. It will be an extraordinary honour to join with the UFI leadership in the coming years in moving this remarkable industry forward into a new era. I accept the challenge ahead for it is our global network of industry professionals working together that can meet that challenge. I am particularly fortunate to be part of UFI’s presidential trio that will inspire diverse perspectives and innovative solutions through the unique efforts of different genders, cultures, professional backgrounds and experiences that UFI represents.
