Karen Rollo

Karen has been Chief Executive of Netball NI since 2015 having previously worked as a Club and Workforce Development Officer. She is currently Chair of Ards and North Down Sports Forum and Trustee on the Newforge Community Development Trust (NCDT). 

While her employment is focused on the business and administration side of sport, with particular attention to finance, governance, HR and commercial partnerships, Karen’s passion for sport stems from personal involvement with Netball at her local club where she plays and coaches, and within the wider Netball NI family as an umpire, umpire tutor, assessor and mentor. Sport has given her so many opportunities, supported her to develop many skills and created lifelong friendships. Her ambition is to ensure opportunities are made available and accessible to everyone. She believes that being a part of the NISF is some way to achieve that.
