The Institute of Marine Engineering, Science & Technology (IMarEST) appointed David Kelly, currently head of marketing at IMarEST’s London headquarters, as director of Asia-Pacific.
The new position, based in Singapore, will be taken up in August this year and has been created to support the existing Asia-Pacific team and to drive growth and awareness of the Institute in the region.
A Chartered marketer, Kelly graduated with a degree in marketing and public relations and rose through the ranks to become marketing manager at IWSC Group before going on to manage group sales and marketing. He joined the IMarEST in 2012 and has since led the development and execution of a marketing strategy which has fortified the Institute and supported growth over the past three years.
“There are huge opportunities for the marine sector across the Asia-Pacific region and I am thrilled to be able to support the growth of the Institute’s reach at such an exciting time,” said Kelly. “I am very much looking forward to working with the executive team and members across the region to increase our activity in this part of the world, with respect to events, conferences, training, special interest groups, local branches and our technical output.”
