IPA Chairman Adrian Kloeden announced in a statement that the long-serving chief executive would be seeking roles in business following the end of his contract next year.

“In his decade as CEO, Brendan has led IPA from a tiny start-up, into one of Australia’s most respected and successful public policy organisations,” Mr. Kloeden said.

“Brendan has been an outstanding CEO and we will miss his leadership, passion and skill, but we support his decision and look forward to seeing him move to a senior role in business, next year.

“Brendan’s impact on infrastructure policy has been deep, positive and sustained, reflecting his passion for good policy and research, his strong trusting relationships with stakeholders and his very strong advocacy skills.

Mr. Lyon said he was proud that he had the chance to take IPA from a good idea to a great organisation, and is grateful to the chairmen, successive boards and staff over the past decade.

 “IPA is a very different organisation to what it was a decade ago, with a clear mandate, solid resources and very skilled professional staff and I am looking forward to seeing a new CEO appointed to take IPA even further, said Mr. Lyon.

“While I will be sad to leave next year, after a decade it’s time for me to seek new opportunities and I am very grateful to the Board for their support as I move to my next role.”
