United States Olympic Committee (USOC) international relations chief Robert Fasulo will leave in August when the organisation’s southern California office moves to Colorado Springs.
When Fasulo was hired in 2006, the USOC was led by chairman Peter Ueberroth, whose home was just a few miles from Irvine. Also living in the area was Bob Ctvrtlik, who was international vice-president. Ueberroth stepped down in 2008 and Ctvrtlik left USOC last July.
Fasulo was a key aide to former IAAF president Primo Nebiolo in the 1990s and then worked in Lausanne as executive director of the Association of Summer Olympic International Federations.
A USOC press release said that Fasulo “will step down in order to pursue other international opportunities in the global Olympic Movement”.
"My experience working with the USOC, our athletes and NGBs has not only been incredibly rewarding but also an honour for me," he added.
"I am very proud of what we have accomplished in the past four years. Leaving the USOC has been a very difficult decision for me and my family, but I look forward to expanding my opportunities in the international Olympic arena."
New USOC chief executive Scott Blackmun said of the office relocation: "While there were very good reasons in the past to have staff based in Irvine, that is no longer the case. I am looking forward to bringing our international relations group to Colorado Springs where it can work closely with the rest of the team.”
