Richard Garlick has been appointed as the new chief executive, a role he will take on in addition to his existing position at Kroenke Sports and Entertainment. This change is part of a broader trend, where Kroenke has become increasingly involved in the club's decision-making process.
In addition to these changes, Kroenke Sports and Entertainment has welcomed Kelly Blaha and Otto Maly as non-executive directors. They will join Dave Steiner, a long-time advisor to the company, on the board. Ben Winston, a season ticket holder and producer/director, has also been appointed as a non-executive director.
Kroenke has expressed gratitude to those who have left the club, including Lewis, for their dedication and commitment to Arsenal during a period of significant change. He praised Garlick's success as managing director and welcomed his appointment as CEO.
Arsenal is undergoing a period of transformation, and Kroenke is confident that the club is moving forward in the right direction. He believes that the new additions to the board will bring valuable experience and expertise to the club, helping to achieve its long-term goals.
The club is committed to strengthening its leadership team and is excited about the fresh perspectives and energy that the new board members will bring. Kroenke is optimistic about the club's future and is confident that it will continue to make progress towards its objectives.
