Watching Vandas at Nations Cup in Sept convinced Ho to take job at Netball S'pore
Surprise is often the reaction whenever people find out that Netball Singapore's (NS) new chief executive from Jan 1 will be Daniel Ho.
Even the 35-year-old, who is serving notice as local news site Mothership's chief operations officer, admits that it is an unexpected move.
While contemplating the role, one recurring question Ho asked himself was, "What does a media guy know about sport?"
It was not a decision he took lightly after NS president Trina Liang, a fellow management committee member of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, approached him in August as the national sports association sought a replacement for outgoing chief executive Cyrus Medora.
Medora, 73, will be stepping down at the end of the year, after 19 years with NS.
While Ho was initially unsure about his suitability for the role, he was convinced after attending the Nations Cup in September.
