Gretta Fenner (1975–2024): Message from the President

It is with great sadness that we confirm the tragic death of our Managing Director Gretta Fenner in a car accident.

Gretta has been an extraordinary force for change in the fight against corruption – both personally and through the Institute that she lovingly and passionately built and led for so many years. We, and our partners and counterparts around the world, will miss her greatly.

Her family and friends are in our thoughts as we come to terms with this news. We will keep all informed about plans to honour her memory and celebrate her as she deserves.
