Jamie Davis leaves USA Volleyball to become CEO of USA Water Polo
IRVINE, Calif. — Jamie Davis is leaving the USA Volleyball Association to become CEO of USA Water Polo.
Davis’ appointment, effective Oct. 1, was announced Monday by USA Water Polo. Davis’ hiring was approved unanimously at the association’s recent board of directors meeting.
“Jamie’s vision and leadership will play a key role in leading the organization to its next level,” USA Water Polo President Bill Smith said in a statement. “I am confident that his contributions will take USA Water Polo to new heights.”
Davis will succeed Chris Ramsey, one of the Olympic movement’s longest-serving leaders of the U.S. governing body, who announced in December he would retire after the Paris Games.
Davis, a former television and sports business executive, became CEO of USA Volleyball in 2017. During his tenure at USA Volleyball, membership grew from 339,000 in 2017 to 435,000 this year. USA Water Polo has about 50,000 members.
“I am honored to join USA Water Polo and look forward to working with our talented players, coaches, staff and the entire water polo community,” said Davis. “Together we will continue to foster growth and excellence in the sport.”
