USA Gymnastics CEO Kerry Perry Resigns Amid Nassar Scandal
After nine months in the position, Kerry Perry has officially resigned under scrutiny from the abuse scandal with Larry Nassar.
MICHIGAN — The CEO of USA Gymnastics, Kerry Perry, has resigned from her position amid scrutiny in the Larry Nassar scandal, according to reports. Perry was the CEO of USA Gymnastics for nine months, and has reportedly resigned due to criticism and "little tangible action in helping the organization recover from the Larry Nassar scandal," according to USA TODAY Sports.
The new CEO of U.S. Olympic Committee Sarah Hirshland told USA TODAY Sports Friday that it was "time to consider making adjustments in the leadership."
Perry took over for Steve Penny in December, after he, too, resigned in the wake of the Nassar scandal. She had no gymnastics background, according to reports.
