IAAF President, Richard Welland, added: “I would like to thank the board for their efforts in ensuring a thorough and compliant recruitment process and we are delighted to welcome Mark to the role of IAAF chief executive. Working extremely closely with Wendy for many years, Mark has been at the forefront of numerous IAAF activities and been effective in expanding the Federation’s reach, highlighting the varied work IAAF does for members and the wider trade.
