Ryan Webb will depart as CEO of the St George Illawarra Dragons next April after five years in the role.
During his tenure, Webb led the club through both challenges and triumphs. His leadership, vision and commitment have left a lasting impact on the club’s structure, culture and performance.
Dragons Chair Andrew Lancaster thanked Webb for his contributions, saying "Ryan is a great person and has been a strong leader for club. He took on the role during a testing time as COVID impacted the NRL, bringing in much-needed reforms and guiding us through a period of significant change over recent years.”
Webb's tenure has seen the club reach key milestones including reaching record commercial revenues and profitability, expanding the Dragons community programs, supporting Head Coach Shane Flanagan in reshaping the football program and bringing to life the Dragons’ Community and High Performance Centre which will start construction in the coming months. His commitment to fostering a strong and inclusive culture within the club has helped create a solid foundation for future success.
Lancaster continued, “Ryan’s efforts have set us up for continued growth. He has worked closely with the Board, players, staff and fans to ensure that the Dragons will continue building into the future.
Webb said: “Being CEO of St George Illawarra is an absolute privilege and an experience I will always be proud of.”
The process of recruiting the next CEO will commence shortly and Webb will remain involved in the transition phase to ensure a smooth handover of responsibilities.
