Tennis Australia announces Chief Commercial Officer appointment
June 16, 2021

Tennis Australia has advised of the appointment of experienced executive Cedric Cornelis as its new Chief Commercial Officer.

With more than 20 years of experience across Europe and Asia Pacific, Cornelis joins Tennis Australia from his most recent role with the Seek Group as Commercial and Marketing Director, Australia and New Zealand.

Prior to his time at Seek, Cornelis held General Management responsibilities in operational roles at DHL Express, Jetstar and Qantas.

Announcing Cornelis’ appointment, Tennis Australia Chief Executive, Craig Tiley stated “Cedric brings an unprecedented level of global business and digital capability to a role that is crucial to our future growth.

“In the current climate it’s vital we look at our businesses differently, and find new ways to continue to grow and diversify. Cedric’s broad international experiences across so many disciplines will help to identify and take us forward into new opportunities, while at the same time continuing to develop our current revenue streams.

“He will be a valuable addition to our team and our sport.”

Looking forward to his new role, Cornelis advised “as a great fan of the sport, avid player, and admirer of the organisation, I see this role as a once in a lifetime opportunity to contribute to the continued development of tennis while combining my passions in business and sport.”

Ben Slack, currently acting Chief Revenue and Experiential Officer, will remain with Tennis Australia and assist in facilitating a smooth transition while also maintaining a senior leadership role.

Explaining this change, Tiley added “I want to sincerely thank Ben for his leadership and success amid the very challenging environment of the last 16 months and look forward to him continuing to play an important role in our future.”

Cornelis (pictured) will commence with Tennis Australia in August.
