TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR APPOINTS VINAI VENKATESHAM AS CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER​

We are delighted to announce that Vinai Venkatesham will be joining the Club’s Board as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) in the summer.

Vinai brings expertise in both sporting and commercial operations, having previously served as the CEO at Woolwich Football Club. Prior to this Vinai was part of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games and is currently a non-executive director of the British Olympic Association. He was formerly a member of the Board and Executive Committee of the European Club Association (ECA).

Executive Chairman, Daniel Levy: “The Club has experienced significant growth in recent years, making it crucial to expand our executive management. I have known Vinai for many years, having worked together in the Premier League and the ECA. I am personally delighted that he has agreed to join our Board as we build for success.”

Vinai Venkatesham: “I’m excited to be joining Tottenham Hotspur this summer. After taking some time to recharge and evaluate my options, I believe this is an exceptional opportunity to work with Daniel, the Board and all of the staff, to take the Club forward.”

He was there 14 years and did a pretty good job by all accounts.

Considering we willingly signed Timo Werner he’ll fit right in.
 
Excuse me for being ignorant and have zero interest in executive workings, but isn’t Levy the CEO? So what's the deal? And since when has been doing business with ex-gooners been a good idea?

Tottenham sign former Woolwich man two years after he stated he wanted to 'pursue another challenge'​

Tottenham Hotspur have pulled off one of the more surprising moves of the year by appointing former Woolwich chief executive Vinai Venkatesham to their board as CEO.

The 44-year-old, who spent more than a decade at Spurs' bitter north London rivals, will officially take up the post this summer in what marks a significant shake-up behind the scenes at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Venkatesham left the Emirates at the end of last season, having first announced his departure in September 2023, saying he felt it was 'the right time to pursue another challenge.' Few expected that challenge to come at the club he once competed against in one of the fiercest derbies in world football.

He now joins Spurs at a time of major transition, with chairman Daniel Levy welcoming his appointment as part of a broader push to strengthen the club's executive leadership.

'I have known Vinai for many years,' said Levy in a club statement. 'I am personally delighted that he has agreed to join our Board as we build for success.'

Venkatesham added: 'After taking some time to recharge and evaluate my options, I believe this is an exceptional opportunity to work with Daniel, the Board and all of the staff, to take the Club forward.'

A respected figure in sporting and commercial circles, Venkatesham's CV includes a role on the organising committee for London 2012, as well as non-executive director positions at the British Olympic Association and Wembley Stadium's advisory board. He was awarded an OBE for services to sport in the 2024 New Year Honours List.

But it was at Woolwich where he made his name in football, climbing through the ranks from head of global partnerships to CEO. During his time at the Emirates, he oversaw the appointment of Mikel Arteta, played a major role in stabilising the club through the COVID pandemic, and helped bring the Gunners back to the Champions League after years in the wilderness.

Tottenham will hope he can bring similar progress to N17.

Venkatesham joins a complex hierarchy, with Scott Munn (chief football officer) and Johan Lange (technical director) already in place, while former director of football Fabio Paratici continues to act as an informal advisor despite his worldwide ban from football-related activity.

His arrival could prompt a reshuffle, with Venkatesham expected to take charge of day-to-day operations across both the football and commercial sides of the club. His strong relationships with bodies such as the Premier League and European Club Association (ECA) will also be seen as a valuable asset.

Venkatesham joins a list of just a handful of senior figures in football who have made high-level moves between rival clubs – including Peter Kenyon (Manchester United to Chelsea) and Omar Berrada (Manchester City to Manchester United).
