He joins the Resource Alliance from the European Council for Foreign Relations where
he was Director and COO. During this two years there he doubled this pan-European
think tank’s income from £1.4 million GBP to £2.8 million.

He will take up his role from 2 November 2009, taking over from Interim CEO, Lyndall
Stein, who has managed the organisation for the last eight months while the recruitment
process has been taking place.

Wolters said: “I am convinced that The Resource Alliance and its mission is an important
asset to the international fundraising community with a major role to play.

“I am passionate about bringing organisations and their people to the next level
of development and I’m eager to start working with The Resource Alliance on strategies
for continued growth and secure sustainable funding.

“I will be looking at new forms of entrepreneurship and intense network development
across the organisation, whilst at the core I hope to offer creative leadership 
with a focus on performance and service excellence within an enjoyable work environment.”
