"I am grateful to the RIXML.org Steering Committee members for their support and I am excited by this opportunity", said Mr. Roehrig.

Mike has achieved much success through enhanced visibility and impact, increased membership and overall growth of the consortium. His delivery milestones include establishing a "Level One" specification compliance timeline, release of current specification 2.2 and aligning and establishing RIXML.org as a provisional jurisdiction of XBRL.org."

"I am honoured to welcome Jack as RIXML.org's new Executive Director, and look forward to working with him to develop and promote the benefits of RIXML. Jack brings an impressive depth of knowledge and experience to the role, as well as a network of strong relationships across the industry," said Andrew Ling, who represents UBS at RIXML.org.
