UN POSTAL ADMINISTRATION CHIEF RETIRES ROBERT GRAY RETIRES AS CHIEF OF THE UNITED NATIONS POSTAL ADMINISTRATION For the past eight years, Robert Gray has served as Chief of the United Nations Postal Administration (UNPA). Mr. Gray was recruited in 2002 as Chief, UNPA, in New York, for his philatelic marketing expertise and business background in philatelic postal administrations. In his capacity as Chief, he has been instrumental in introducing new marketing ideas and streamlining business approaches which have greatly increased UNPA’s business growth. This has proven especially challenging in light of the changing philatelic market and the increase of electronic media mail. The introduction of Personalized stamps in 2003 to the United Nations was a major accomplishment during his time as Chief, UNPA. It has been credited as a huge success, both with tourists visiting United Nations Headquarters in New York and with collectors throughout the world. Mr. Gray is also credited for launching UNPA’s first e-commerce website, http://unstamps.un.org, in 2006/07, to offer United Nations stamps to a global audience online. A revamp of the UNPA stamp portfolio, including joint issuances with major postal administrations and participation in major international shows and exhibitions, such as the 2008 Beijing Olympics and the recent 2010 Shanghai World Exhibition, have contributed to the success and record growth of UNPA in recent years. UNPA’s renewed business success is not only financial. UNPA has been and continues to be an important outreach for promoting the goals and work of the Organization. Prior to becoming Chief, UNPA, Mr. Gray worked for the Australian Postal Administration for 28 years. During his tenure there, he invented the first perforated self-adhesive stamps for Australia Post and was credited for its patent. He was also involved in producing stamps for numerous postal administrations as well as creating personalized stamps and corporate advertising on stamps. After retiring from the United Nations, Mr. Gray will return to his home country, Australia, with his wife Marina. He is eager to spend time with his family. The staff of UNPA, as well as Mr. Gray’s friends, colleagues and philatelic collectors, wish him all the best in his future endeavours. He will be truly missed by both his colleagues and philatelic collectors worldwide. On 8 July 2010, Secretary- General BAN Ki-moon presented Robert Gray with a certficate in recognition of his dedicated service to the United Nations.
