Meet our Presidential Team
IFE's Presidential Team represents the Institution at the highest level, supporting our mission to advance fire safety across the globe.
International President (25-26), James Lane, serves as a powerful voice for the profession—championing best practice, engaging with key stakeholders, and attending major events throughout the international fire sector. Drawing on decades of technical, strategic and industry experience, James brings a deep commitment to integrity and professional excellence to the role.
Alongside him, International President-Elect (25-26) Mark Reilly, brings extensive operational and governance expertise from across the Australasian and global fire community. In his supporting role, Mark helps to maintain continuity, amplify the Institution’s impact, and prepare to assume the International Presidency in 2026.
Together, the Presidential Team works in close partnership to foster collaboration, promote IFE’s global initiatives, and represent our growing international membership at major international functions and sector events.
