Minderoo begins global search for World Series Rugby CEO ahead of expanded 2019 competition
Nick Taylor - The West Australian -Tuesday, 4 September 2018
A global search is underway for a chief executive to lead World Series Rugby into next year’s expanded competition that will see Western Force battle seven teams for a $1 million purse.
In another move Force chief executive Nick Marvin is taking on a new role with the club.
Marvin led a team from Andrew Forrest’s Minderoo group when the mining magnate bankrolled the Force and WSR after the club was axed from Super Rugby.
Marvin took charge of the Force after 11 years at the helm of Perth Wildcats and as interim chief executive at Hockey WA. He will move into a consulting role at the club.
Minderoo confirmed the moves.
“The Western Force required a strong, experienced leader for its inaugural season as the flagship competitor in World Series Rugby and the team found that in Nick Marvin,” a spokesperson said.
“As the Force takes a break after the season, Nick will shift to a consulting role."
“He will continue to shape plans for the WSR 2019 competition in the short term and, moving forward, will focus on setting the Western Force up with a community ownership structure and a strong commercial base."
“Growing the Rugby Roos junior development program will also be high on his agenda."
“Minderoo is conducting a global search for a WSR chief executive and is charging ahead with its plans for the 2019 competition.”
Marvin told The West Australian that he had been overwhelmed by community support.
“It was heartening and makes it all worthwhile,” Marvin said.
