In a strategic move that enhances the association’s ability to best provide unparalleled support to its European members and create a strong value proposition, ICCA is pleased to announce a new addition to its leadership team. Thomas Mauch will join ICCA as a new Regional Director for Europe, in addition to Efi Koudeli, to implement plans for growth across the region, drive member recruitment and retention, foster partnerships, and deliver personalised solutions tailored to the individual needs of ICCA members in the region.
“Everyone at ICCA is delighted to welcome Thomas to the family,” said ICCA CEO Senthil Gopinath. “His reputation for facilitating connections and developing valuable partnerships throughout his career in the global meetings and events space makes him an excellent choice for European Regional Director. ICCA is poised to continue growing and expanding our impact throughout the European region — as well as the world — and as we begin strategising for 2025, we are thrilled to have the opportunity to better support and invest in our European members. We are all looking forward to working with Thomas in the new year, and we are excited for the positive impact he will have on our association and the region.”
With more than 20 years of experience in the events and hospitality industry, including a prominent role at RAI Amsterdam, Thomas holds an exceptional track record in commercial growth, strategic partnerships, and member engagement.
“It is an honour to join ICCA, an organisation that has consistently driven innovation and collaboration in the meetings industry,” said Thomas. “I am eager to work closely with ICCA’s European community to foster meaningful connections, share knowledge, and navigate an ever-evolving landscape together. By building on ICCA’s strong foundation and leveraging the collective expertise of its members, I look forward to promoting the industry’s value on a global scale and helping it reach new heights of innovation, inclusivity, and impact.”
ICCA is committed to addressing the needs of members, and Mauch’s addition to the leadership team allows us to work closely with members from all sectors across the European region. We are excited to welcome Thomas to the ICCA team and look forward to a successful start to 2025 as we continue to enhance our reach and capabilities within Europe and around the globe.
