Ahab Downer was employed as Chief Executive Officer for Island Conservation Society (ICS)
in Seychelles from December 2013 to July 2015. He is a motivated and responsible person
with a very high degree of reliability. Throughout the period of his employment with ICS he
showed great enthusiasm and dedication to the objectives of our organisation. Ahab has a
natural flare for leadership, combining a strong air of authority with a high degree of empathy
with staff at all levels. He showed an ability to communicate well with people at all levels from
Government Ministers and visiting overseas executives to Rangers and volunteers engaged by
ICS. Without doubt Ahab has been an excellent ambassador for our organisation, raising our
profile both locally and internationally. His honesty and integrity are beyond question. He is a
gentleman and a thoroughly honourable, trustworthy and highly principled person who would
be an asset to any organisation requiring a leader to take it forward.
For Island Conservation Society,
Adrian Skerrett
Chairman
