The International Ski and Snowboard Federation (FIS) is further strengthening its administration with the appointment of former Alpine skiing champion Alexandra Meissnitzer to the President’s Office.

Meissnitzer will take on the role of managing special projects within the President’s Office, starting 1 September 2025.

A highly decorated athlete, she enjoyed an outstanding sporting career with two World Championship titles and three Olympic medals. Following her retirement from professional sport, she established herself as a respected expert commentator with Austrian broadcaster ORF.

In her new role, Meissnitzer will help to strengthen the sport and its global promotion, drawing on her unique experience as both a world-class athlete and a professional who has been in the skiing and snowboarding business for decades.

Alexandra is a true champion, both on and off the slopes. Her sporting achievements speak for themselves, and she also brings excellent communication and media expertise. She will make an important contribution to FIS as we continue to strengthen our organization for the benefit of athletes and the global skiing and snowboarding community.– Johan Eliasch, FIS President
