He previously served on ICML’s inaugural Board of Directors and now returns with decades of experience helping organizations expand training, publishing, and certification-aligned programs worldwide.
“I was fortunate to be part of ICML’s formation 25 years ago, and from the beginning, I believed strongly that our industry needed a professional body to set global standards and provide certifications that give credibility to the work of lubrication and oil analysis practitioners. That belief hasn’t changed,” said Ramsey. “What motivates me now is the opportunity to give back to this organization that shaped both my career and the careers of so many others, and to help ICML continue evolving.”
