Robyn, who has significant experience in the motor industry with brands like Volvo, Nissan and the former DaimlerChrysler group, will join the FIA “in the near future” and, according to the FIA, will “be responsible for the successful operation and financial performance of an integrated and aligned FIA administration, as well as driving the overall strategy to deliver the leadership’s vision of reform the federation”.
“I am delighted to be appointed the first ever CEO of the FIA at such an important and exciting time for the Federation,” said Robyn.
“I look forward to working with members, the senior leadership team and the president to deliver their vision of reform and growth with the involvement of all staff.”
