USA Triathlon CEO Rob Urbach Leaves Post After Six Years

USA Triathlon CEO Rob Urbach has left his position after six years to “pursue other professional opportunities,” effective immediately, USA Triathlon BOD President Barry Siff announced. An interim was not announced and a search for his replacement is underway. Urbach’s departure comes shortly after the BOD finalized a new strategic plan, which has not yet been published. Urbach was hired in February '11, prior to which he was Managing Dir at Cortview Capital Markets and an Exec VP for both Octagon and SFX Sports Group.

Under Urbach’s watch, USA Triathlon won its first Gold Medal, and second medal ever in the sport’s Olympic history, when Gwen Jorgensen won Gold in Rio in '16. Efforts to reach Urbach were not immediately successful. Urbach made $397,248 in compensation in '15, including a $345,000 base salary, according to IRS filings.
