Shirley Dewi Promoted to Executive Vice President of IAPMO R&T

IAPMO has announced the promotion of Shirley Dewi to executive vice president of IAPMO R&T, where she will provide strategic leadership and oversight for the organization’s certification and compliance operations, including Product Certification, the Systems Certification Body and Continuous Compliance.

Dewi’s exceptional leadership, industry expertise and commitment to excellence have been instrumental to the continued success and growth of IAPMO R&T. In her new role, she will help guide the organization’s ongoing expansion and innovation while strengthening collaboration across its certification and compliance operations and advancing IAPMO’s mission of protecting public health and safety.

Dewi joined IAPMO R&T in 2007 after working as a quality manager in the plastic injection molding and electronics industries and as a contract auditor for IAPMO R&T. She previously served as an operations analyst for Lockheed Martin IMS and holds a bachelor’s degree in business management from Cal Poly Pomona.

Since joining IAPMO R&T, Dewi has held increasingly senior leadership positions and played a significant role in expanding the organization’s certification services. As manager of Management System Registration Services, she expanded the department’s scope beyond the plumbing and mechanical industries to serve organizations including aerospace firms, schools, government entities and oil refineries. She later became senior vice president of the department and oversaw its transition to SCB.

Under her leadership, SCB has broadened its management systems certification capabilities, providing third-party auditing and certification services across industries ranging from aerospace and medical devices to manufacturing, environmental management, occupational health and safety and information security. SCB’s expanded portfolio enables organizations to demonstrate conformance with internationally recognized standards while providing ongoing monitoring to support continued certification and compliance.

Her leadership also has been instrumental to IAPMO’s growth in Indonesia. Dewi played a key role in efforts that contributed to Indonesia’s adoption of a national plumbing standard based on IAPMO’s Uniform Plumbing Code and the establishment of PT IAPMO Group Indonesia, which offers testing, inspection, certification and training for both the domestic Indonesian market and internationally.

As executive vice president, Dewi will oversee strategic direction and coordination across Product Certification, SCB and Continuous Compliance, with a focus on operational excellence, collaboration, innovation and continued growth.
