Following the recent news that CIRO’s Chief Executive, Fiona Tordoff is stepping down from the role after more than a decade of leadership, we’re pleased to announce Annette Shipley as her successor.
Annette assumed the role of interim CEO as of April 1st 2024. During her tenure, the Chartered Institution of Railway Operators will conduct a thorough search for a permanent replacement.
