I am Head of Football Governance at LCP. In this role, I am involved in developing and expanding the Sports Division, with a focus on helping clients adapt to the changing regulatory landscape of the soccer industry. I work closely with the Sports Analytics team, collaborating on ways good governance and on-field tech-enabled innovation can dovetail into creating successful and sustainable sporting organizations.
My background is in soccer regulation, previously working as Football Policy Lead for a Westminster think tank. I authored extensive reports on the introduction of the Independent Football Regulator, which were submitted to parliament and presented in the House of Lords. I also guest lecture on soccer governance and regulation on several university courses.
Away from my work, I am a fan of Arsenal and Kolkata Knight Riders.
