HONG KONG, Nov. 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Today, CGI Global, the Chartered Governance Institute, the premier global qualifying body for Chartered Secretaries and Chartered Governance Professionals, announced the appointment of Kerrie Waring to lead the global institute as Director General. With nine divisions around the world and 29,000 members, the Chartered Governance Institute has actively promoted the highest standards of corporate governance for over 130 years.

Ms Waring will report to the Council of CGI Global, working closely with Council Members and divisional CEOs, to promote the importance of Chartered Company Secretaries and Governance Professionals in supporting successful companies and long-term value creation, taking over from Tim Sheehy after he steps down on 30 November.

CGI Global President, John Heaton said: "I am delighted that Kerrie is joining us, bringing great international experience of corporate governance over many years. She has long been an exponent of the value which good governance brings to organisations and is very well suited to developing the global strategy and expanding the reach and impact of CGI, building on Tim’s work over the last 9 years. I am really looking forward to working with her."

With over 25 years of corporate governance experience, Ms Waring joins CGI Global after serving as Chief Executive Officer of the International Corporate Governance Network for 10 years until June 2024. Prior to joining ICGN in 2008 as Chief Operating Officer, she was Corporate Governance Manager at the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England &amp; Wales, and International Relations Manager at the UK Institute of Directors. A specialist in Japanese governance, Ms Waring served for seven years as a Member of the Council of Experts convened by the Tokyo Stock Exchange and Financial Services Agency to advise on governance and stewardship reforms.

As Director General of CGI Global Ms Waring is responsible for strategically leading the profession’s engagement with international stakeholders, expanding membership across markets, and driving scale and innovation across the industry’s international qualifying scheme – the gold standard for governance professionals.

Ms Waring said: "Chartered Secretaries and Governance Professionals are critical for supporting high-performing boards in their role to promote corporate sustainability and resilience, ultimately creating long-term value. They are the nexus between management, shareholders, auditors and others – ensuring timely information flows and the proper functioning of governance policies, procedures and practices. Based on the strong foundations established by my predecessor, I look forward to working with the CGI Council and Divisional CEOs in strategically leading CGI Global to its next phase and raising awareness of this important profession around the world."

Ms Edith Shih FCG(CS, CGP) HKFCG(CS, CGP)(PE), CGI Global Past President, HKCGI Honorary Adviser and Past President, stated: "I am pleased that Kerrie is joining CGI as its Director General, bringing with her rich experience as a governance professional with international exposure in governance leadership."
