The Olympic Federation of Ireland has announced the renewal of CEO, Peter Sherrard’s, contract through to 2024.
Sherrard was appointed by the OFI in early 2018 through to 2020. The new contract will allow him to continue to grow the organisation and oversee its development through the Olympic Games of Tokyo in 2021, Beijing 2022 and Paris in 2024.
He previously worked in a number of senior roles at the FAI and as Country Manager in Italy and Head of Communications at Ryanair.
“We are delighted to have secured Peter’s leadership for the coming Olympic Cycle,” said OFI President Sarah Keane.
“He has brought a tremendous amount of energy to the role and has succeeded in making hugely positive advances for the Federation in a short space of time.”
“He has been excellent to work with and brings a highly professional approach. As a Board we are very happy to have secured his services through to 2024.
“I would like to thank Sarah Keane and the Board for making my job so fulfilling,'” said Sherrard.
“Their strategic oversight and advice has been of major assistance to me in growing the OFI team and has made it much easier for me to deliver significant changes for the organisation over the past three years.”
