His passion for the sport of table tennis, strong business experience, and commitment to strengthening the system will be invaluable as we continue to grow table tennis nationally. 

William Henzell is one of Australia’s most accomplished table tennis athletes and a highly respected figure within our sport. William is an Olympian, Commonwealth Games medallist, and long-standing contributor to table tennis in Australia. Coupled with his impressive corporate career, William offers a unique and deeply informed perspective that will greatly benefit the Board and the wider table tennis community.
