Farewell to Noah Newnham, Welcome Back to Rachael Gopal
Published Tue 22 Sep 2026
Table Tennis Victoria is announcing some change to its team, with Marketing & Events Manager Noah Newnham finishing up with the organisation after three years, as he moves on to a new opportunity.
Over his time at TTV since he joined as intern in 2023, Noah has been a valued member of the team, leading statewide competition delivery, driving the organisation's digital marketing and communications, and building strong relationships with affiliates and partners across the state. His dedication and contribution to the sport have been widely appreciated, and TTV thanks him for everything he's brought to the role. Noah has shared his gratitude for the experience working with such a great community of clubs and players across Victoria.
Interim CEO Sarah Pisterman reflected on the change: "It's sad to see Noah go, but we're genuinely happy for him as he takes on this new journey. At the same time, it's a great opportunity for us to welcome Rachael back into such an integrated role within the community."
Stepping into a newly created position, Head of Operations, Events and Pathways, is Rachael Gopal - a familiar face to many affiliates from her previous role at TTV as COO. Rachael will take up her new role from 12 October, bringing her experience and existing relationships back into the fold.
Members will continue to be well supported through this transition, with Rachael, the Interim CEO Sarah, and Membership & Operations Coordinator Tanisha all on hand to assist with any enquiries.
Table Tennis Victoria wishes Noah all the very best in his next chapter and looks forward to the continuity and fresh energy Rachael brings back to the team.
