The Federation of Awarding Bodies has announced Kion Ahadi as its new chief executive.
Ahadi, who has held multiple executive level posts at professional bodies and sector skills councils including The Law Society, ScreenSkills and the Chartered Management Institute, will take the helm from February 5, 2024.
He will replace John McNamara who has led FAB on an interim basis since the departure of Tom Bewick in September.
Alan Woods and Kirstie Donnelly, co-chairs of the membership body for over 120 awarding organisations, said: “Kion’s expertise will strengthen our voice in the sector across the four nations, supporting members as we face continuing challenges from qualifications reform and political uncertainty. We look forward to welcoming Kion to the team in February.”
