Kinsey Fabrizio<\/a> will become the next CEO of the Consumer Technology Association<\/a>, the trade association that owns CES<\/a>, succeeding Gary Shapiro<\/a>, who has led the organization for 35 years.<\/p>\n

Shapiro will continue to serve as executive chair after the transition on May 1.<\/p>\n

Fabrizio, who joined CTA in 2008, has been president since 2024. The trade association\u2019s executive board said in its announcement to members that she \u201chas helped modernize CTA\u2019s membership, expand CES offerings, advance emerging technology categories, and elevate CTA\u2019s role in technology policy, including her testimony before Congress on artificial intelligence.\u201d <\/p>\n

The CTA became an independent organization under Shapiro\u2019s tenure, and CES into the largest annual U.S. trade show. He\u2019s also been a major voice in policy debates, at times at odds with the entertainment and media business on issues like piracy legislation, while he\u2019s testified before Congress on other topics like AI and intellectual property. CTA represents more than 1,200 technology companies. <\/p>\n

Watch on Deadline <\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Shapiro said in a statement that the transition \u201cstrengthens our long-term vision and ensures stability as we enter our next chapter.\u201d <\/p>\n

Fabrizio said, \u201cI am thankful to have spent most of my career at CTA, learning the organization and working alongside its most important resource, our people. Most importantly, I am grateful for the last 18 years I\u2019ve spent learning from Gary, seeing firsthand how he advocates for our industry, our members, and CES. I\u2019m excited to take on this new role and appreciate that he will continue to mentor me.\u201d  <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
