彼得·V'兰迪斯任命赛马界人士为NRL首席运营官

澳大利亚橄榄球联赛（NRL）主席彼得·V'兰迪斯在接任临时首席执行官后，聘用杰奎琳·约翰斯通担任首席运营官一职1。约翰斯通此前为赛马新南威尔士州调查官1。

V'兰迪斯于两周前接替安德鲁·阿卜多出任NRL临时首席执行官1。阿卜多在担任该职六年后离职，现已加入澳大利亚网球协会，年薪超过300万澳元1。V'兰迪斯为此已从赛马新南威尔士州休假四个月，该组织由他管理已有22年1。

约翰斯通的任命反映了NRL高管层的重新整合1。NRL近期与澳大利亚联邦政府达成6亿澳元交易，巴布亚新几内亚酋长队将于2028年加入联赛1。此外，NRL最近还敲定了价值53亿澳元的广播协议1。

Peter V'landys has recruited Jacqueline Johnstone, a former racing investigator from Racing New South Wales, to serve as Chief Operating Officer of the National Rugby League 1. The appointment comes two weeks after V'landys assumed the role of interim Chief Executive Officer following Andrew Abdo's departure to Tennis Australia 1.

Johnstone's hiring reflects the leadership restructuring at the NRL's executive level as V'landys takes the helm. V'landys has taken a four-month leave from his position at Racing New South Wales, where he has overseen operations for 22 years 1. As COO, Johnstone will assist V'landys in advancing key initiatives including the league's global expansion efforts.

The NRL is navigating a period of significant strategic development. The organization recently secured a AU$5.3 billion broadcasting agreement and reached a AU$600 million deal with the Australian federal government that will see the Papua New Guinea Chiefs join the competition in 2028 1. Abdo, who served as CEO for six years before his move to Tennis Australia, had received compensation exceeding AU$3 million annually in his new role 1.
