Dan Green, World ORT Director General & CEO, has resigned from his position due to personal circumstances.

Dan has spent more than 12 years within the ORT family, first as CEO of ORT UK before becoming Chief Operating Officer of World ORT in 2016 and the Director General & CEO in 2020.

During his nearly five years as Director General & CEO, Dan oversaw World ORT’s global response to the Covid pandemic as well as directing our efforts to support our beneficiaries in Ukraine and Israel who have been so devastated by the wars in those regions.

Dan also oversaw the reconstruction of ORT House, a three-year project that saw us regenerate the building into a state-of-the-art new home for ORT.

Dan was also responsible for delivering World ORT’s new strategy and vision of the Three Pillars: Educating For Life, Jewish Experience and Global Citizenship which have breathed new life into our global network over the last four years.

Bob Grey, World ORT Chair, writes: “I would like to take this opportunity to personally thank Dan for his hard work, dedication and passion for ORT over the past twelve years, in particular in recent years when he has steered the organization through the challenges of Covid as well as the wars in Ukraine and Israel. On behalf of everyone at World ORT, I’d like to wish Dan every success for the future.”

Dr. Conrad Giles, immediate past President at World ORT, adds: “It was an inordinate pleasure working so closely with Dan during my tenure as President of World ORT. The relationship we shared together, between President and CEO, was a true partnership, and despite the incredibly challenging contexts we operated in, Covid, remote working and global conflicts, we always strove to move the organization forward and make life a little better for our beneficiaries. ORT will miss you, Dan!”

Simon Alberga, former Chairman of ORT UK and current Trustee and Officer of World ORT, said: “It has been a great pleasure working with Dan over the past 12 years, first at ORT UK and more recently at World ORT.

“Dan has been a loyal and passionate advocate for ORT throughout his time at the organization. He is a great communicator and a highly effective fundraiser, and I’ve enjoyed working alongside him in recent years raising funds from major donors and large charitable foundations on some of our largest projects. We will all miss Dan and wish him the very best for the future.”

Dan Green writes: “It has been an immense pleasure and privilege to work for ORT for the past 12 years. I have been able to witness first-hand the impact we have made across the globe by providing an education for life to hundreds of thousands of students whose lives have been immeasurably improved by ORT.

“I have been lucky enough to work with an incredible group of professionals in London and across the ORT Network who have inspired me every day. And I have also been fortunate to have been supported by a tireless group of volunteer leaders who have shared my passion for an incredible organization.”
