I’ve had a season ticket since I was six months old, attending my first game in August 1994. This club is at the core of my identity - I’ve followed us through thick and thin, and I adore the community when I’m at The Valley. Football creates a special bond: Charlton fans come from all walks of life, but as a crowd, for 90 minutes, we’re as one, with three points our only desire. As a representative of the fans, I’d relish the opportunity to communicate fan sentiment at board level, and elevate the experience for us all.
My professional experience would make me a very effective contributor at board level, helping provide checks and balances and hold the club to account. I work in the Sports, Gaming, Media and Corporate Affairs Practice at world-renowned executive search firm Odgers Berndtson, collaborating with numerous entities to find the best candidates for their senior appointments. Within football, this has included the Chair and CEO at Rangers, Newcastle United’s Sporting and Performance Directors, the COOs at Leicester City and Sunderland, the Women's Super League (WSL) CEO, and roles with the FA. This gives me a unique insight into sport strategy and governance; an eye for detail; an ability to challenge and manage upward; gravitas when communicating with all stakeholders; and in-depth wider sector knowledge.
I love Charlton Athletic, and I work, live and breathe sport. I’d be an effective contributor to any board level discussions and would welcome the opportunity to serve and improve the club I’ve followed all my life.
