Experienced leader within a client facing commercial environment. Fully focussed and driven to build relationships, deliver change and value creation in the sports industry. My role at Altrincham FC combines all of this and allows me to lead on their commercial strategy and operations.Altrincham FC are going through an exciting period of change and development, from becoming a professional club in 2022, receiving local and international investment, to narrowly missing out on promotion to League 2 in 2023. As a team we are looking to build on this momentum by aligning ourselves with likeminded progressive and ambitious partners that want to join us on this journey.Prior to Altrincham FC, as the previous Managing Director at the world's leading global payments consultancy, I was fortunate to build relationships and deliver projects with some of the biggest global brands when it comes to developing their customer payments solution strategies. These include Subway, Hilton, McDonald's and Nike.I have proudly supported retailers for a decade in optimising their payments supply chain and ensuring they are able to make informed decisions about what is truly best for their business. Building relationships with key retail stakeholders, industry experts and external supply chains across the globe has given me a unique visibility of end to end payments infrastructure and the vast opportunities available in this space.Having been lucky enough to take some time out between roles to travel and achieve a distinction for my masters degree in International Sports Management, I welcome connecting with anyone currently working or aspiring to work in the sports industry.
