ISEAL is led by a Senior Management Team and governed by a Board of Directors. ISEAL also has an informal governance body – the Stakeholder Council – which provides strategic advice and input to ISEAL’s membership and Board.

Senior Management Team

Our Senior Management Team directs our day-to-day work around the world. It’s made up of five Directors, and brings together a diverse and international collection of talents.

Karin Kreider, Executive Director

Patrick Mallet, Director, Innovations

Kristin Komives, Director, Impacts

Norma Tregurtha, Director, Policy and Outreach

Philip Wilson, Director, Finance and Operations

ISEAL Board

Our Board includes representatives from nine of our full member organisations. It guides the strategic direction of ISEAL’s work and provides final approval for our business plans, annual work plans and large-scale projects. It meets four to five times each year. The Board is supported in its work by three sub-committees: the Executive Committee, the Finance Committee and the Membership Committee.
