#235 Craig Tiley - Game Changer

49 minutes

As the world just announced that Craig Tiley is heading to the United States Tennis Association as their new CEO, we're bringing back this conversation to celebrate his extraordinary legacy. And what a moment to do it.

For 20 years, Craig Tiley shaped Australian tennis into something the world genuinely admires. As CEO of Tennis Australia and Tournament Director of the Australian Open, he turned Australia's Grand Slam into a global benchmark, breaking attendance records, captivating billions of fans and delivering what Tennis Australia director Chris Harrop simply called a "transformative" tenure.

In this conversation, Craig shares the daily routine that sits at the heart of every relationship he builds, the direct thread between his coaching success and his leadership success, and how every overseas flight is an opportunity to make a new friend.

Craig's passion for people is what has always fuelled his success. The USTA is getting one of the best. We are so grateful he sat down with us.

Thank you, Craig. Australia is better for what you built. 🎾
