PHILADELPHIA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Board of Directors of the Project Management Institute (PMI) stated today that Sunil Prashara, President & CEO, will be leaving PMI on December 31, 2021.

"It has been an honor to lead PMI," Sunil said. "For the past year, I've been inspired by the heightened focus on Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance with respect to business and investment, and after careful consideration, I have decided to enroll in a full time Masters program at the London Business School (LBS). It will demand my full attention, which is why I made the difficult decision to step away from PMI. I love this organization and will miss the amazing people here with whom I've had the privilege to work and collaborate."

Sunil continued: "I am grateful to have had the chance to help develop and advance the Institute's strategy over the past two years. It has been an amazing journey: from the successful execution of PMI 2.0, to leading the growth mission of PMI 4.0 that substantially increased PMI's relevance and visibility among stakeholder communities around the world. We created a regional model for PMI, enabling the Institute to efficiently serve global constituencies in unique ways that had never been done before. And we navigated the challenges of COVID-19, and kept our employees safe, while increasing revenue and providing added value to those we serve. PMI is on a strong path to advance its goals far into the future, and I couldn't be more proud of what we have done together."
