Montse Cervera, President of iSocial since the foundation’s creation, steps down to make way for Josep Maria Solé.

At the last board meeting, held on July 9, the iSocial Foundation bid farewell to Montse Cervera, who had served as president since the foundation’s inception. Montse Cervera, along with Toni Codina, co-founded the iSocial Foundation from an embryonic idea that arose during a shared coffee in early 2018. Since then, the Foundation has grown and become a key player in the social innovation ecosystem in Catalonia, and Montse Cervera has been a vital figure, dedicating her time, energy, and knowledge.

Montse Cervera has had a long career in the field of social services, first as a technician at the Department of Social Rights of the Generalitat of Catalonia, and later in various leadership roles: Director General of the no longer existing Catalan Institute of Assistance and Social Services (ICASS) from 1999 to 2003, Head of the Social and Healthcare Unit at Antares Consulting (2007-2016), and Head of Innovation and New Projects at the Ampans Foundation (2015-2020), a member organization of iSocial which she represented on the board. During her presidency, she shared the knowledge she gained throughout her career to help foster iSocial’s growth. During this time, the iSocial Foundation achieved significant milestones and solidified its role as a leader in social sector innovation.

The position will now be held by Josep Maria Solé, President of the Support Girona Foundation and its representative on the iSocial board, where he previously served as Secretary.

The iSocial Foundation wishes Montse Cervera the best and thanks her for her work and commitment. We also warmly welcome Josep Maria Solé as the new president, who will undoubtedly continue and expand upon Montse Cervera’s legacy with the same passion and dedication.
