their financial pipeline, they’ re not protecting their political positioning. They’ re just themselves. Rather, they are protecting a shared vision of the future,” she says.
The model also reduces the structural bias that can distort industry-wide initiatives when larger or more commercially powerful organisations carry disproportionate influence.“ There’ s not one company being represented over another, or one political party represented over another. It makes us an unbiased platform to really drive results that are cohesive and collective,” affirms Cyre.
The road ahead for iMasons At the time of writing, Cyre is around 45 days into her role as CEO for iMasons. She is candid about the fact that her priorities for the next 12 to 18 months are still being shaped by what she is hearing from members. But the direction is clear.
“ My first 12 to 18 months are going to be laser-focused on driving measurable progress against the big challenges our industry and communities are facing,” Cyre insists.
“ We’ re going to be focused on advancing innovation and accelerating energy decarbonisation, scaling our workforce development efforts to close the skills gaps that are impacting us so much, and working hand-in-hand with policymakers to make all of that happen,” she says.
Strengthening iMasons’ global chapters is also a priority. The organisation has grassroots operations across multiple regions, and Cyre sees those networks as integral to the feedback loop that keeps the global body connected to conditions on the ground.
“ We want to make sure we’ re strengthening them and elevating that cross-industry collaboration to shape policy, create shared standards, and really ensure that the future of the digital infrastructure build-out is going o be sustainable, responsible, inclusive of community & policy makers and future-ready.
“ As CEO, I believe leadership requires being close to the work. I’ m not afraid to roll up my sleeves and work with the digital ecosystem communities to help shape the future of digital infrastructure.”
