We are delighted to announce that Port of Barcelona’s Ingrid Boqué has been appointed as chair of the IAPH Data Collaboration Committee (DCC). Ingrid was highly active with IAPH in her previous role as global strategic networks officer for the Hamburg Port Authority. She managed the chainPORT initiative, which brought the world’s leading international ports together to collaborate on digital transformation. Ingrid also played an instrumental role in the successful edition of the IAPH 2024 World Ports Conference last October in Hamburg. She assumed her new role as director of institutional relations at the Port of Barcelona last October. Ingrid steps into the DCC chairperson’s role occupied since November 2020 by Pascal Ollivier, president of Maritime Street, who initiated the industry wide call to action during the pandemic to accelerate the pace of digitalisation, with a report completed with the World Bank on the subject and several follow-up initiatives and publications. She will join vice-chair Gadi Benmoshe of Marinnovators in leading the committee.
