USA Skateboarding appointed Johnny Schillereff as chief executive officer and president.
As founder and President of Element Skateboards, Schillereff sold the business in the early 2000s and remained at the helm for over two decades. He has upstarted and supported non-profit organizations, skate camps and competitions worldwide. Schillereff has also advised action sports companies, assembled skateboard teams and employed and nurtured skateboarders and enthusiasts worldwide. Most recently, he and his wife established The Heart Supply, a philanthropic skateboard company with the mission to grow awareness and give back to the skateboard community.
“I am thrilled to be the CEO of USA Skateboarding and consider this role the most honorable and impactful position I’ve held to date,” said Schillereff. “I am grateful to everyone who contributed to skateboarding being in the Olympics. I am committed to working in the best interest of USA Skateboarding and The United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee. My priority is to reach the goals of Team USA while protecting their rights and overall well-being. I embrace the challenge and look forward to collaborating with our athletes and the skateboard community.”
