It has retained Sports Recruitment International to find it suitable candidates.

The umbrella organisation for both Olympic and non-Olympic international sports federations as well as organisers of sporting events is looking to recruit the new positions in order to build on the success of the SportAccord multi-sports games and reacting to an increasing demand for services from its members.

At the end of August 2010, SportAccord launched the first edition of the World Combat Games.

The SportAccord World Mind Games and the SportAccord World Beach Games will follow in 2011 and 2012.

SportAccord President Hein Verbruggen said: "It is our mission to unite and support our members.

"We want to promote their sports and help them to increase their visibility.

"This is why expand our services and why we will launch further multi-sports games such as the World Mind Games and the World Beach Games."

Michael Platen, the partner of Sports International Recruitment who will lead this project out of Lausanne, added: "We are very pleased with this partnership since, as SportAccord, our mission is to provide quality and specialised services to the Sports Industry.

"We are proud that we have been retained by SportAccord to assist them in finding their new top executives and talent, and thankful for the recognition SportAccord is giving us as a valued partner."
