AusTriathlon welcomes Mr Mark Arbib is the next Chief Executive Officer of the Australian Olympic Committee.
Mr Arbib brings to the role 30 years of high-profile leadership experience in sports administration, commercial strategy and governance. He has served at the highest level within a National Sporting Organisation, major professional sporting codes, the Federal Government, international integrity bodies, philanthropic ventures and within the Olympic Movement itself.
AusTriathlon CEO Tim Harradine offered congratulations on behalf of the sport.
“AusTriathlon wishes to congratulate Mark Arbib as he steps into the role of Chief Executive Officer of the Australian Olympic Committee.
“Mark is widely respected in the sporting world, both nationally and internationally, and is well positioned to unlock new opportunities for national sporting organisations as we move toward Brisbane 2032 and beyond.
“We look forward to working alongside Mark and the AOC as we continue to champion the growth and success of our sport on the road to a home Olympics.
“On behalf of AusTriathlon, I’d also like to thank outgoing CEO Matt Carroll for his leadership, and service to Olympic sports. We look forward to working with Matt and Mark as they manage the transition,” he said.
Mr Arbib has served on the AOC’s Executive Committee since 2016 and chairs the AOC’s Brisbane 32 Legacy and Impact Committee. He also served six years (2015-2021) as President of Athletics Australia where he drove governance reforms, high performance strategies and established an athlete’s voice on the board. Notably, Mr Arbib was the Federal Minister for Sport from 2010-2012 which saw him create the National Anti-Match-Fixing policy (later Sport Integrity Australia) and his appointment to the board of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA).
