Good thing, bad thing or just a thing? Wonder if its been on the table for a while or if something is changing?
To our esteemed Professional Triathletes –
I am announcing today that after 12 years with The IRONMAN Group, I have decided to retire from my position of President & Chief Executive Officer later this year and will move to a Board role, following the successful recruitment and appointment of a new CEO.
Stepping down is not easy. I have had the privilege to watch many of you compete on racecourses around the world -- and appreciate the relationships that I have been able to establish. I have loved watching the best athletes in the world compete, and appreciate the inspiration that you provide to our IRONMAN community.
In the immediate term, nothing will change; I will remain CEO until the new leader is appointed. I intend to stay involved to ensure a smooth transition, remain on the Board, and provide advice and help to the new CEO, once she or he is selected. I have confidence that we will find a great leader to add to an already great team that understands the importance of our athletes leading to continuity and stability of how we work with our professionals in the years to come.
Thank you for the part you have played in this.
I’ll see you at the races,
Andrew
