Cassetta Green Named Acting Chief Executive of JANAAC Global Accreditation

Cassetta Green has been named Acting Chief Executive Officer of JANAAC Global Accreditation, with her tenure beginning on 1 July 2026. The move is designed to keep leadership steady while the organisation pushes ahead with its strategic plans and wider regional accreditation programme.

In the interim CEO role, Ms. Green will head JANAAC’s work to bolster Jamaica’s quality infrastructure, widen access to accreditation services recognised on the global stage, support trade flows, and deepen public trust in the standards and reliability of products and services.

JANAAC stands as the sole accreditation body in the English-speaking Caribbean with international recognition. It helps conformity assessment organisations—including laboratories, inspection units, and certification firms—reach global benchmarks and open doors for regional exporters.

Ms. Green enters the post with over two decades of experience in the public sector. That background includes 15 years in senior management and six years working directly in accreditation. From September 2019, she has held the position of Director of Strategic Planning, Business Development and Promotions at JANAAC, where she drove growth initiatives and promotional campaigns that raised the agency’s profile across the Caribbean and helped reinforce regional quality infrastructure.

She also sits on a range of national, regional, and international panels dealing with accreditation, trade, and quality issues—a track record the agency says equips her to deepen ties with partners and stakeholders.

JANAAC expects her stewardship to keep service quality, regional outreach, and strategic delivery at the centre of operations, while aligning accreditation offerings with Jamaica’s goals for economic expansion, export growth, and a stronger national quality framework.

Ms. Green follows Dr. Yvette Castell, whose spell as Acting Chief Executive Officer ended on 26 June 2026 after she had led the agency since October 2024. The JANAAC Board of Directors thanked Dr. Castell for her service and contributions during that period.

The agency said it remains dedicated to advancing quality assurance and easing trade for Jamaica, the wider Caribbean, and beyond. It delivers accreditation services and technical training to laboratories, inspection bodies, and certification bodies in 11 CARICOM member states.
