LONDON, May 16, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- The Impact Facility for Sustainable Mining
Communities is delighted to announce the appointment of
Lewis Temple as its new Chief
Executive Officer. TIF founder and current CEO Assheton
Stewart Carter is stepping into a new role leading the
organisation's strategy and advocacy efforts from his
position on the board of trustees.
With more than 25 years of leadership experience in global
development, Temple is poised to lead The Impact Facility into its
next phase of growth and impact. He joins TIF from BRAC – the
pioneering Bangladeshi global NGO, where he led the European
affiliate, BRAC UK, as CEO for nine
years. With a focus on building business and private sector
solutions to challenges of poverty and exclusion, his commitment to
improving resilience and sustainability aligns perfectly with The
Impact Facility's mission to create lasting positive change for
artisanal and small-scale miners and their communities.
Outgoing TIF CEO Assheton Stewart
Carter expressed his enthusiasm for Temple's appointment,
stating, "Lewis brings a wealth of experience and a deep passion
for sustainable development to this role. His leadership will
undoubtedly propel The Impact Facility forward, ensuring that we
continue to make meaningful and lasting contributions to the
well-being of mining communities. I am looking forward to actively
partnering with Lewis and supporting the team in making our vision
a reality."
"On behalf of everyone at TIF, I would like to welcome Lewis to
the organisation, and thank Assheton for his tireless dedication
over the past six years" said David Sturmes, Co-Founder and
Director of Business Innovation and Fundraising. "We all look
forward to continuing to work with Assheton in his new role and are
excited about the experience and enthusiasm that Lewis is bringing
to our organisation."
The innovative nature of TIF's Lake Victoria 2030 Leasing
Programme for artisanal gold miners in Kenya and Tanzania, and the organisation's role in
setting up and managing the Fair Cobalt Alliance, were what drew
Temple to the role at TIF. "I am honoured to join The Impact
Facility and work alongside its dedicated and expert team" he said.
"Together we will build upon TIF's ground-breaking work and
impressive recent growth to realise our ambition to drive
meaningful change for mining communities worldwide."
