Sharks Appoint New Group CEO
Wednesday, 2 December 2009
The Cronulla Sharks today made one of the most significant announcements, appointing John Osborne to a newly created role of Sharks Group Chief Executive Officer, a major building block in the club's restructure.
This role has been designed to bring all facets of the Sharks business together under one umbrella and to position the Club in the best possible place for its long term sustainable future.
Chairman, Damian Irvine, was delighted to welcome John to the Club as a very important part of the Sharks new strategy and vision; a strategy that has already seen a number of key building blocks put in place over the last few months.
The role of Group CEO has been created to engage the community and drive an evolution that will result in the Sharks being seen as the benchmark for professional sporting and hospitality organisations in Australia.
During his 15 years as CEO of Mingara Club on the Central Coast, John was able to transform a relatively obscure club into one of the largest and most successful clubs and community sporting organizations in Australia.
This appointment is the culmination of a thorough and comprehensive recruitment process and we are extremely happy with the outcome and quality of leader we have found in John. Im very confident that now we have the structure and team in place to achieve the success on and off field that our loyal members and supporters so deserve and have been waiting too long for.
Johns background and experience fits like a glove with the recent reinvigoration of the Sharks entire organisation he concluded.
John Osborne is very positive about the unique potential of the Cronulla Sharks..
I believe that I have been presented with a rare opportunity to make a real difference by helping the Sharks bring their vision to life.
The cross section of roles that I have experienced in the tourism and leisure sector and the exposure to large development projects positions me strongly to assist the Sharks to achieve their objectives.
John will formally commence at the Sharks on 4 January 2010.
