A Message from the Board...


The RBC Place London Board is pleased to announce the promotion and appointment of Darrin Pollard as General Manager and CEO of RBC Place London, effective July 1st, 2024. This decision comes after careful consideration and evaluation of Darrin's exceptional leadership qualities, strategic vision, and dedication to the success of our organization. 


In February, it was announced that Lori Da Silva would retire from the General Manager and CEO position in June 2024, after over 18 years of extraordinary leadership and commitment to the London Convention Centre Corporation.

At that time, the RBC Place London Board of Directors initiated an extensive process to recruit, interview and recommend the best person to lead the organization forward. After conducting an international search with almost 200 applicants, the Board appointed task force recommended Darrin as Lori’s successor.


Darrin brings a wealth of experience to this role, having served in various leadership positions within the hospitality industry for over three decades. His proven track record of driving operational excellence, fostering innovation, and delivering exceptional customer experiences aligns seamlessly with our commitment to excellence at RBC Place London.


Darrin joined the RBCPL team in 2011 in his current role as Director of Business Development to lead sales and marketing efforts by bringing in a collaborative approach both internally and from a wider city and regional perspective. Darrin is committed to elevating the guest experience by building and inspiring engaged teams that thrive in providing seamless and innovative event execution.  


During his time with us, Darrin has consistently demonstrated his passion for our organization's mission and values. His collaborative approach, coupled with his ability to inspire and empower teams, has been instrumental in our continued growth and success.


As General Manager and CEO, Darrin will be responsible for leading our day-to-day operations, driving strategic initiatives, and ensuring that RBC Place London remains a premier destination for events, conferences, and gatherings of all kinds. We have full confidence in Darrin's ability to lead us into a new era of growth and innovation.


Please join us in congratulating Darrin on his well-deserved promotion. We are excited about the future of RBC Place London under his leadership and look forward to achieving new heights together.


Sincerely,


Susan Judd

RBC Place London Board Chair
