ECB Appoints Gordon Hollins As Coo
ECB has appointed Gordon Hollins, currently ECB’s managing director – Professional Game, in the new position of chief operating officer.
Hollins will oversee the restructuring of ECB departments responsible for commercial and marketing matters, non-international communications and the First Class and Non-First Class games.
He will also continue to lead ECB’s support of the Transformation Programme for county cricket and be responsible for its relationships with County Boards and The Major Match Group.
The remainder of ECB’s senior leadership team at Lord’s and the chief operating officer will continue to report through chief executive David Collier to the Board on all strategic matters.
ECB chairman Giles Clarke said: ‘Following the recent announcement about the restructuring of the ICC, our chief executive David Collier will need to devote an increasing amount of his time to international matters. He will take the lead role in all ECB’s discussions with ICC relating to the Future Tours Programme, anti-corruption matters and wider commercial issues.’
‘With David’s workload increased, the creation of this new post is designed to ensure that ECB continues to provide high quality leadership and support for all aspects of our domestic cricket business. Gordon Hollins has an outstanding track record in this area and he will now be responsible for his own dedicated management team serving the wider First Class and Non-First Class games.’
