He promised, he kept his word. John Eliasch, the new president of the International Ski Federation (FIS), will soon no longer be the CEO of the HEAD group. The Swedish billionaire announced during the campaign that he would relinquish his post if he won the election to succeed Gian Franco Kasper. He confirmed on Monday that he would keep his promise. “ It has been a privilege to lead HEAD for the past 25 years, but now it is time for a new challenge, explained John Eliasch in a press release. The FIS has enormous potential and my new role as president will be at the center of my concerns. I am leaving HEAD in the hands of very capable people, with an exceptionally strong management team. » John Eliasch joined the HEAD group in 1995. He was elected president of the FIS on June 4, after beating his three rivals, the Swiss Urs Lehmann, the British Sarah Lewis, and the Swede Mats Årjes.
