ISC appoints Kris Fumberger as its Executive Director of Product Solutions

ISC is delighted to announce the appointment of Kris Fumberger as its new Executive Director of Product Solutions. This new role for the ISC has been created to elevate ISC’s infrastructure ratings and associated offerings and to lead the digital transformation of the business.

Commencing 1 July 2025, Kris joins ISC from the advisory firm, Ricardo. He brings over 20 years of leadership across sustainability, ESG advisory, and digital product innovation. Kris has a strong track record of delivering measurable environmental impact, influencing strategy at senior levels, and scaling sustainability initiatives that shape industries.

At RightShip, Kris led the transformation of the organisation from a safety-first model to an ESG-centric digital platform, building award-winning climate tools such as the GHG Rating and Maritime Emissions Portal. The GHG Rating portal, used by over 180 entities globally, was developed to provide a sustainability rating for as-built ships in a similar way to the IS Rating Scheme.

More recently, at Ricardo and ANZ Bank, Kris developed sectoral decarbonisation pathways, managed climate disclosures in line with TCFD and ISSB, and advised on ESG risks and opportunities for infrastructure, water, and energy clients across Australasia.

Toby Kent, CEO of ISC, says: “This is a critical appointment for the ISC at a pivotal moment in our organisation’s evolution. I am delighted that we have secured someone with Kris’s experience and pedigree to drive the enhancements to our offerings that we need to bring to market. Kris is both commercially minded and personable and I think our members and team will respond really well to his leadership.”

Jeremy Stone, Deputy Chair of ISC, says: “ISC has much to be proud of and a terrific legacy to build on. The appointment of Kris, in particular, and other changes at ISC are setting us up for a really strong future.”

Kris Fumberger says: “What excites me most about this opportunity is ISC’s influence in shaping infrastructure outcomes that align with global sustainability goals. I see immense potential in further digitising and scaling the IS Rating Scheme, drawing on my experience in product leadership and stakeholder engagement to unlock new insights from data, develop complementary offerings, and enhance member value.”
