IBU President Olle Dahlin :
“We are delighted to announce Niklas Carlsson as IBU Secretary General. The Executive Board made it a prerequisite in the recruitment process that only candidates with extensive and diverse multi-stakeholder experience would be considered, and there is no doubt Niklas meets that criteria.
He comes from winter sports, he has run a major organising committee and National Federation, he has expert insights and knowledge of the daily business of an International Federation and how it is run;
and as a Board member, is familiar with high-level corporate management and oversight. With his strong leadership experience and winter sports background, I have no doubt Niklas will do an excellent job in heading our operations and developing the sport of biathlon as part of our Strategic Plan.”
Niklas Carlsson added:
“I am excited to join the IBU at this thrilling time for the sport and the federation. I am looking forward to getting to know the biathlon family and will work myself into every detail of this fascinating sport, which I have followed closely in the past.
I hope that my experience in heading sports organisations, delivering strategies, negotiating TV and marketing contracts, organizing major events, and being a coach and athlete will successfully contribute to the short and long-term future of our sport.
Enhancing the strong foundation biathlon already has, the experienced team in Salzburg and I will deliver the execution of the new Strategic Plan and the implementation of institutional reforms.”
