Izza To Retire

 

After 17 years as CEO of the ICAEW, Michael Izza has announced that he will retire at the end of 2023.

As per his email:

"Dear Members,

I wanted to let you know that after 21 years at ICAEW, I have decided to retire as its Chief Executive by the end of 2023. 

 

I trained as a Chartered Accountant almost 40 years ago, and it has been an honour to be Chief Executive of ICAEW, representing our profession across the world.

 

I would like to thank you - as valued members - and all our many volunteers for your support to me and commitment to ICAEW. I am immensely proud of what we have achieved together, and I have no doubt that the Institute will continue to flourish after I leave. 

 

As Chief Executive I have taken every opportunity to champion sustainability and I believe that chartered accountants have a vital role in helping society and the economy achieve net zero. Our 2030 strategy positions ICAEW well for the future and I am confident that the best is yet to come.

 

Regards,   

Michael Izza FCA

ICAEW Chief Executive"

I would like to take this opportunity to wish him well for his retirement.
