Governance

As an Olympian and seasoned CEO in the sports sector, my unwavering commitment is to champion sport integrity and foster good governance across the industry. For over a decade, I have tirelessly worked to build robust sports brands and ensure that organizations prioritize ethical and transparent business practices.

My passion for sports integrity and governance led me to pursue an MBA, where my dissertation explored the intricate connections between good governance and the resilience of International Sports Federation brands. This research, which earned top honours, reinforced my belief that good governance is the cornerstone of enduring success for sports organizations.

In 2021, I embarked on a transformative PhD journey at the University of Canberra, supported by a grant from Sport Integrity Australia. My research focuses on unravelling the critical ties between good governance and sport integrity, with a unique emphasis on amplifying this discourse through the voices of athletes.

I extend a warm invitation to fellow Olympic athletes to contribute to my research by reaching out directly. Your insights and lived experiences are invaluable, offering crucial perspectives on the challenges athletes face and identifying strategies to advance sports integrity and good governance.

If you represent a National Anti-Doping Organisation (NADO) or National Sports Organisation (NSO), I encourage you to connect with me. I am always open to collaborating with organizations that share my unwavering commitment to promoting sports integrity and good governance.

Together, let us forge a path toward a more transparent, ethical, and sustainable sports industry—one that upholds the cherished values of fair play, respect, and excellence. Through collaborative efforts, we can instil lasting positive change and set a precedent for the future of sports governance.
