SAO PAULO (AP) — The 2016 Olympic organizing committee says executive Sidney Levy will take over as its new CEO as part of leadership changes made to “strengthen its organizational structure.”

Levy, who has been in charge of several companies in Brazil and abroad, replaces Leonardo Gryner, who becomes the committee’s chief operations officer.

The moves come less than two months after committee employees were fired for illegally downloading files from the 2012 London team in a scandal that prompted widespread criticism of its officials.

The Rio committee said Friday the changes were not prompted by the scandal, claiming the restructuring process had already started in June. It said the “strategic” moves are aimed at improving “internal procedures and coordination between all areas.”
