He also serves as Executive Director of the European Subsea Cables Association (ESCA). With nearly 20 years of experience in the subsea cable industry, he has worked on marine planning and permitting for telecommunications, energy, and oil and gas projects.

ICPC Chair Dean Veverka praised Wrottesley’s new role by stating, "John was the obvious person to step in to fill the GM position. Being part of the Secretariat team for several years and combined with his top-notch organisational skills, in-depth knowledge of the subsea cable industry along with his relationships with several institutions, (including governmental bodies), his promotion was a natural progression, and we look forward to his leadership. I would also like to add, that on behalf of the ICPC, we wish Ryan all the best in his future endeavours and thank him for supporting the goals of the organisation throughout the years."

At the ICPC, John Wrottesley will work closely with the Secretariat team, the Executive Committee, International Cable Law Adviser Kent Bressie, and Marine Scientific Adviser Dr. Michael Clare.

The organisation also announced that a new Operations Manager will be appointed in the coming months.
