I started my career at The FA organising England Internationals and FA Cup Finals whilst England were on the road with Wembley being rebuilt. I then moved to the Premier League to work on their flagship good causes programme, 200 player appearances and 1m to charities and good causes. I then got an opportunity I couldn’t refuse, I was responsible for the management and delivery of the London 2012 Football tournament, 58 matches, 18 days, 6 venues, across three nations. Club football then led me to Brighton & Hove Albion in the role of Assistant Club Secretary before returning to the Premier League. This time at the PL within the Youth Department, Head of Youth Operations, I led on the management and delivery of the Academy Games Programme U9-U23. I was delighted to join Coaches’ Voice at the end of 2019.
