The NGO has begun the process of finding a new leader, as Harriet Lamb prepares to join the Green Party as CEO
Global environmental action group WRAP has started the process of appointing a new CEO following the announcement that existing CEO Harriet Lamb was leaving at the end of May to become CEO of the Green Party of England and Wales.
WRAP’s chair Sebastian Munden commented: “We are grateful to Harriet for all her work at WRAP and understand her decision to leave reflects a deeply held personal passion. She leaves the organisation on a strong footing with a highly capable management team and a supportive board of trustees.
“Together, we remain focused on accelerating the growth of the circular economy with all our partners and stakeholders, to make circular living the norm in every boardroom and every home.”
“It has been a great privilege to be the CEO of WRAP and the decision to leave was extremely difficult,” said Lamb. “However, the chance to be CEO of the Green Party fulfils a lifelong interest. WRAP is a special organisation. Its many expert and motivated people will ensure the organisation continues to grow its impact.”
WRAP thanked Lamb for leading the organisation in its ambition to scale up change, end waste and to make circular living the norm for people and businesses.
“WRAP has diversified its funding and expanded its global reach in recent years, now having bases in the Americas, Asia Pacific, and within the EU, from where it works with partners to transform food systems, end plastic pollution and drive circular business models in textiles,” it stated.
