Executive Sports Director David Holmes Leaves The FEI: During a period of growth and evolution at the FEI, a number of adjustments to
the management structure have been made. By mutual agreement, Executive Sports Director David Holmes is leaving the FEI. There are no
immediate plans to fill the position.
“We are very sorry to lose David”, FEI Secretary General Alex McLin said. “He has been an extremely popular addition to the FEI staff
during his time on the team, and we are thankful for his contributions, but we are adjusting the way in which resources are being used
at headquarters and, with a very strong team of individual Sports Directors now in place, we are well positioned to move forward. We wish
David well with all his future endeavours.”
