Leading the transformation of transport systems and services towards inclusive, healthy, green and resilient solutions for people and the planet
Following seven years of distinguished leadership and impact our dear Secretary General Maruxa Cardama has decided to step down on 31 December 2025. Under her stewardship, SLOCAT has established itself as the eminent multistakeholder partnership driving progressive thinking and ambitious global agendas for the urgent transformation of transport and mobility systems worldwide.
The SLOCAT Board of Directors seeks an experienced, values-driven and visionary leader to build upon our legacy of impact and advance the next frontier of the sustainable, low-carbon transport movement.
Are you the visionary leader we are looking for?
