The Woman Who Took On the Biggest Scandal in American Sports

In Exit Interview, Marie Claire has a candid conversation with someone who’s left their job. We learn all about their experience—both the good and the bad—plus why they decided to move on and what life looks like on the other side.

Here, we talk to Li Li Leung, who spent nearly seven years as president and CEO of USA Gymnastics. She stepped into the role in 2019, when the organization was still reckoning with the fallout of the Larry Nassar abuse scandal. At the time, trust across the sport had been shattered, and the organization was mired in lawsuits and bankruptcy proceedings. Over her tenure, Leung worked to steady the institution and shift the culture toward one that centers athlete safety and well-being.
