The search will be jointly led by Michael Catlow, veteran sports industry search leader and Managing Director of Boyden Melbourne, and Anne Stuckey, Managing Director of Boyden Sydney.
“The new CEO of Triathlon Australia has the opportunity to help support the growth of this incredibly popular sport and the development of top international talent,” Catlow said. “Boyden will search for a proven leader with a sports affinity, strong business and people skills, as well as the ability to work closely with outside stakeholders.”
