Abi Tierney has been appointed as the first female chief executive of the Welsh Rugby Union.
Tierney will join the WRU before the end of 2023 after serving notice at the Home Office, where she was the director general for customer services and ethics advisor and chair of their people committee.Her appointment comes nearly seven months after Steve Phillips resigned as WRU chief executive amid allegations of a 'toxic culture' at the organisation.
In June, a committee of Senedd members noted that the WRU was responsible for a 'serious failure of governance' and missed opportunities to act on concerning behaviour within the ranks.Tierney will take over from interim chief executive Nigel Walker, the former Olympic hurdler, and Wales international who will now become the WRU's first director of rugby.
