Reluctant at first, Rian Oberholzer relented to become SA Rugby's interim CEO.
Oberholzer also served on the council of the then International Rugby Board and was director of Rugby World Cup Ltd. He has run his own sports marketing and events companies since departing SA Rugby.
Alexander reaffirmed the contemplated private equity investment would lead to the establishment of a new commercial structure that would create two entities requiring CEOs. Once that process neared completion, recruitment would begin for those roles.The completion of the proposed equity transaction will trigger new appointments,” said Alexander.
Oberholzer said: “My role is to give leadership to the operational team and guide them in delivering the strategic objectives that have already been determined by the executive council.” Oberholzer who at the start of the year said he had been approached but was not interested in the position said i t was a surprise to find himself back in the role. “The business is well founded — despite some current short-term challenges — and it is an exciting time to be involved with a Rugby World Cup around the corner,” said Oberholzer.
