Chelsea Appoints Tom Glick As President of Business

Chelsea Football Club has appointed Tom Glick as the club’s new President of Business.

Glick, a 30-year sports marketing and operations executive, will assume responsibility for day-to-day operations at Chelsea FC, including managing its global commercial strategy, driving revenue growth, enhancing fan engagement, and creating exceptional experiences for the club’s fans.

Glick commented: “Chelsea FC is an iconic sports institution, known and admired all over the world. I have been very impressed with the vision and mission of Todd Boehly and Clearlake.

“They have the Chelsea community at the heart of everything they do. We have a huge opportunity here to enhance performance across the board, on behalf of everyone we serve.”

Glick, most recently, was President of the NFL’s Carolina Panthers franchise, where he managed extensive improvements to Bank of America Stadium. He also oversaw the creation of Major League Soccer’s Charlotte Football Club.

He has also held positions as Chief Commercial Officer of City Football Group, where he was responsible for global business operations, CEO of Derby County, and senior marketing positions with the New Jersey Nets and the NBA. In English football, he served on the Football League Board, the FA Council, and the Professional Game Board.

Todd Boehly, chairman and co-controlling owner, added: “Tom’s successful track record as a leader and innovator at several respected and winning sport organisations made him the obvious choice for this position.

“His skills and experience will be vital as we improve Chelsea FC’s key infrastructure, expand the Club’s products and reputation, and find exciting new ways for our loyal supporters to engage with their favourite players.”
