‘REUTERS’ quoted Carter as stating, “As anticipated, because LA28 is moving from a commercial and planning phase to an operational and delivery phase, now is the right time for me to pass the torch. As of 2024, I will transition from my role as the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and am honored to continue with LA28 as the Senior Advisor.”

LA28 Chairperson Casey Wasserman said Carter had been a “driving force behind the first phase of our strategic plan. As that phase nears completion, we have undoubtedly built a strong foundation for the next four years, and now is the time to transition to the next phase.”
