Board of Directors 2022-2023

Muthanna Subbaiah (President)

Muthanna is an avid tennis fan and his limited skills are compensated by his love of the game. He has been a member of OTLBC since 2009. When he is not on the courts, Muthanna is working to create a more prosperous and inclusive Canada. He is an entrepreneur and is Managing Partner for Artelli Inc. a boutique consulting company offering strategy execution and intelligent process automation solutions. Muthanna is also active in the community, having been a member of the OSCA board and Chair of the environmental organization 350Ottawa. Muthanna is hoping to help the club achieve the vision of its members. His own vision is to see OTLBC become a premier tennis facility and an integral part of the Ottawa landscape for decades to come. He dreams of one day walking into an OTLBC that boasts of not only having the finest facilities in the city but one that is also fiscally prosperous.

Andrew Bradley (Vice President)

Andrew’s first exposure to OTLBC was when he attended tennis camp as a child. He joined OTLBC approximately eight years ago and wants to help it become sustainable over the long term. Andrew has worked in construction for two decades, earned his carpentry license 10 years ago and has been an independent contractor since 2010. In 2017, he volunteered to level the floor in the Club’s playroom, a first step toward its renovation. He has also volunteered with the children’s clinics that his daughter attends. Andrew and his family like to spend their summer weekends by the OTLBC pool.

Pierrette Richard, CPA-CA (Treasurer)

Pierrette has been an active member of the OTLBC for over 20 years. Being a passionate tennis player, she has been able to share her enthusiasm for the club with many friends and family. Over the years, her family has participated in many of the summer programs offered, including swimming lessons and tennis camps. Recently retired from Canada Post, Pierrette is now able to leverage her extensive (over 30 years) financial management experience as an OTLBC volunteer board member. She is a CPA-CA who has gained a wealth of knowledge through diverse responsibilities such as, comptroller for a large corporate transformation, financial manager for real estate initiatives and treasurer for United Way campaigns. Pierrette has served as an administrative volunteer for the Mont Tremblant Ski Club and is currently the treasurer of a condo association. Pierrette is a proud Acadian from New Brunswick. She is a graduate of the University of Ottawa and has been living in the neighbouring community of Old Ottawa East with her husband and their two children for many years. During the summer months you will regularly find Pierrette at the OTLBC enjoying a spirited game of tennis with close friends. As an avid skier, the winter months are reserved for her second favorite sport!
