FOUNDER & CHIEF EXECUTIVE

The Energy and Environment Alliance is a global coalition of hotel investors, asset owners and asset managers working to transition the industry to Net Zero Emissions, environmental, societal and governance stewardship in a robust, timely and profitable way. 


Previously, as Chief Executive of the British Hospitality Association (BHA) 2010 to 2018, Ufi Ibrahim reshaped and reformed the organisation from the ground up, achieving significant financial and commercial success. She led the BHA merger with the Association of Licensed Multiple Retailers, creating UK Hospitality to wield powerful commercial and political influence. 


Ufi also shaped the UK Tourism Industry Group, a government-led Advisory Board for the industry, and delivered ground-breaking campaigns, such as the Big Hospitality Conservation, which engaged over 4,000 businesses and government to create 67,000 new jobs and apprenticeships for young people, under 25, across the UK. 


At the World Travel & Tourism Council, where Ufi was Chief Operating Officer between 2000 and 2010, she supervised the formulation of the International Competitiveness Monitor for Travel and Tourism. This defined a benchmark for policy makers and is now operated by the World Economic Forum. Under the auspices of the WTTC and UNFCCC in 2009 Ufi led the industry’s first global commitment to cut carbon emissions by 50% by 2035. 


Ufi is also a Board Director and Commissioner of the Food Farming and Countryside Commission, overseeing executive and legislative issues affecting the future of UK food, farming and the countryside.
