Welcome ro D'Arcy Myers - Wikimediauk-l

18 Nov 2014

A big welcome to D'Arcy who has started as an Interim CEO at WMUK. I am
finishing up jobs that make more sense for me up until the New Year while
D'Arcy is quickly getting his feet under the table. He is an experiecned
CEO with specialist experience in being an interim CEO. To quote his
Linkedin biography:

I was educated at Douai Abbey ( a community of monks of the English
Benedictine Congregation ), the Berkshire College of Agriculture and
Cranfield University. I spent about eight years working in marketing and
business development. In 1993 I went out to the independent Kingdom of
Tonga in the South Pacific with VSO. This experience led me to work in 32
countries around the world from Africa, the Far East, Europe, the former
Soviet Union, and the USA. I am passionate about professionalism within the
voluntary sector and believe that the leadership within the sector is key
to this change. I am active within the sector and amongst other things I am
the founder of the Corporate Social Partnership and a trustee for the Small
Charities Coalition. I am a fellow of the Chartered Institute of Marketing,
a member of various third sector institutes, the IoD, and a school governor.
I am sure he will be keen to met members of the community. You can email
him on darcy.myers(a)wikimedia.org.uk
