Kerry Perry, whose nine-month tenure as USA Gymnastics CEO was marked by heavy criticism and little tangible action in helping the organization recover from the Larry Nassar scandal, has resigned under pressure.

Her resignation, confirmed to USA TODAY Sports by two people with knowledge of the decision, will come Tuesday. It was first reported by the Orange County Register. The two people spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter.
