The International Bunker Industry Association (IBIA) has appointed Alexander Prokopakis as its new executive director.
Joining the IBIA team on September 1 with Edmund Hughes, the recently appointed IBIA IMO representative, Prokopakis brings a strong background of active association membership.
In addition to his IBIA activity, Prokopakis brings a wealth of bunker industry experience as a physical supplier and more recently as an innovator in alternative fuel supply.
Reflecting on this appointment, Timothy Cosulich, chair of IBIA, remarked, “Alexander’s depth of experience within bunkering, management and business innovation makes him an ideal choice for this key role at IBIA. With full confidence, we believe that with his addition, our association is poised to scale new heights and uphold its tradition of leadership within the bunker industry.”
Prokopakis, the former CEO of Probunkers, replaces Unni Einemo at the international bunkering body with Einemo recently taking up a new role at Mikal Boe-led CORE POWER, a British nuclear propulsion specialist.
