“Cedric [Cornelis] brings an unprecedented level of global business and digital capability to a role that is crucial to our future growth,” Tiley said.

“Cedric’s broad international experiences across so many disciplines will help to identify and take us forward into new opportunities, while at the same time continuing to develop our current revenue streams.

“He will be a valuable addition to our team and our sport,” he said.
