14 participants announced for the 11th International Leadership Programme

Published 12 June 2023

The UK Sport International Leadership Programme (ILP) successfully started last week (8-9 June) as 14 talented individuals from across the high-performance community began their training in the flagship programme at the London Stadium.

Since its launch in 2006, there have been 10 cohorts of the ILP, supporting the development of over 120 people. The programme forms a critical part of UK Sport's international relations mission, which is for the UK to positively shape the direction and development of the international sporting system, through its strong voice, ethical approach, and global reputation.

Through tailored modules and personal development, the ILP helps representatives from UK National Governing Bodies (NGBs) and other national partners to build their knowledge, expertise, skills, and relationships to operate effectively in, and make a tangible and positive impact on, the development and governance of international sport.

The 14 individuals taking part in the programme are:

Andrew Heyes, UK Athletics‎

Andrew Tombs, British Gymnastics ‎

David Kingstone, Great Britain Wheelchair Basketball Association

Dr Saam Falahati, British Wrestling

Georgina Reed, British Shooting ‎

Heather Ratnage-Black, British Bobsleigh & Skeleton Association ‎

Helen Marney, British Triathlon

Jason Brisbane, Great Britain Wheelchair Rugby

Jen Thomson, British Rowing ‎

Jim Eyre, British Equestrian Federation ‎

Matthew Holt, GB Boxing

Nick Scott, Royal Yachting Association ‎

Pat Aiyenuro, British Fencing

Verity Naylor, British Paralympic Association

The eleventh cohort of the UK Sport International Leadership Programme pose for a group photo at London Stadium.

The 2023-24 programme will consist of four residential workshops, each focusing on different themes in international sport, and provide personal development needs through one-to-one sessions with an executive coach.

UK Sport International Relations Advisor, Paul Evans, said: “The International Leadership Programme is now in its eleventh iteration, showing just how important this programme is in its support of the participants to attain, operate and succeed in leadership roles in international sporting organisations.

“I am delighted to announce such a high calibre and experienced set of 14 individuals on this year’s programme, and we look forward to working with them over the next nine months. The programme continues to demonstrate UK Sport’s commitment to growing a thriving sporting system.”
