inaugurator
One who begins
An inaugurator is someone who inaugurates—who formally begins something or inducts someone into office.
The word appears in ceremonial contexts: The inaugurator of the new policy faced immediate criticism.
It's less common than the verb inaugurate or the noun inauguration, often replaced by phrases like "the one who inaugurated."
