The Indianapolis-based national governing body for the sport said Monday that Lee Walsi Johnson will be leaving on Oct. 5.
He began his tenure in May 2017 after coming from Indianapolis-based USA Gymnastics, where he was vice president of marketing. His background was in strategic planning and brand building.
Michele Mitchell, chair of USA Diving's board of directors, thanked Johnson for his service "in an extremely challenging time of transition."
USA Diving said the rapidly changing environment of Olympic sports has "necessitated a change in the financial strategy of the organization."
The group said it will announce plans for new leadership in the upcoming weeks.
