Collingwood Football Club president
Korda was appointed to the board of directors at the Collingwood Football Club in May 2007,[3] after five years at his company, KordaMentha. Following the resignation of long-time President Eddie McGuire, Korda, along with Peter Murphy, took over as interim Co-Presidents on February 10, 2021 until the announcement of the next President.[4][5] Korda was announced as the thirteenth president of the Collingwood Football Club on 21 April 2021.[6][7][8] Korda, having been in the role for less than a month, saw his vice president at Collingwood, Alex Waislitz, resign effective immediately.[9] His vacancy was filled by two co-vice-presidents, Indigenous businesswoman Jodie Sizer and former Collingwood player Paul Licuria.[10] Former cyclist and medical practitioner Bridie O'Donnell was appointed to the board following Waislitz's resignation.[9][11] On 15 September 2021, having been on the Collingwood board for 120 days, O'Donnell resigned effective immediately, citing the magnitude of the role.[12][13] On 6 October 2021, Korda announced his resignation as president, but remained in the role until 16 December 2021.[14]
