Benita Fitzgerald Mosley has stood at the top of the podium at the Olympics. She's been part of fix-it projects and start-ups in that world, as well.
None of those roles have presented the challenges she'll face in her new job — CEO of the U.S. Center for SafeSport. It's a post she officially takes over Sunday in hopes of redirecting an organization charged with combating sex abuse in Olympic sports that has been bombarded with problems, both internal and external, over most of its nine-year history.
“It's a hard job,” Fitzgerald Mosley said in an interview with The Associated Press during a trip this week to agency headquarters in Denver. "On its surface, it probably would scare any normal human to death.”
