The International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) has announced that its CEO Jonny Gray is resigning from the organization. Gray will be leaving later this year.
Gray assumed the CEO position in 2019. His duties included overseeing ITIA’s official formation and assisting with its integration into the Tennis Anti-Doping Program.
ITIA CEO Jonny Gray commented: “It has been a pleasure and a privilege to set up and lead the ITIA at the start of its journey. Tennis is leading the way in its integrity program, and I am thankful to the Tennis Integrity Supervisory Board and the sport as a whole for their support.
“My primary role as the first CEO was to oversee the change from TIU to ITIA and the subsequent integration of the Tennis Anti-Doping Program. With this completed, now is the right time to move on and hand the baton on to the next person to lead the organization into the future.”
Gray will remain with ITIA for the next few months. The company has not released any details regarding who will replace him.
ITIA Chair Jennie Price commented: “Jonny has done an excellent job in challenging circumstances. Within weeks of attending his first tennis tournament as CEO, the entire global landscape was drastically altered due to the pandemic, and Jonny’s consulting background and change management experience stood him in very good stead during a challenging period.
“He leaves the new ITIA in a strong position, and we wish him well in his next chapter. On behalf of all the tennis governing bodies, I would like to thank him for his significant contribution to integrity in tennis.”
ITIA subsumed the old Tennis Integrity Unit (TIU) during 2021. It became responsible for administrating the Tennis Anti-Doping Program at the first of the year.
