Eric Born took up judo from a young age and won a gold medal at the 1991 European Judo Championships, which allowed him to compete at the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona. But he was defeated in the first round. After Born's failure at the Olympics, he returned to judo and won a silver medal at the 1993 World Judo Championships.[2] Following this Eric Born entered the business world[3] and worked for several companies, notably becoming the CEO of Wincanton plc from 2010 to 2015, and then President and CEO of Swissport from August 2015 until the end of 2020.
