"I am excited to join the USA Triathlon Board and help shape the sport’s growth trajectory, including membership, partnerships, awareness and development of the brand," Sternberg said. "I look forward to offering my support to enable USA Triathlon to bring out the best across all levels of athletes who seek to reap the benefits of triathlon in their communities."

"In addition, his experience in business development and partnerships will help drive the organization and industry forward as we look to rebound from the challenges of 2020 and seek new opportunities for growth and collaboration."
