Kenyon joins after more than a decade in senior roles at Everton Football Club, where he helped deliver the new Bramley-Moore Dock stadium and led on commercial, brand and community initiatives.
Club Chair Andy Hunt hailed his “proven ability to lead complex organisations through transformation” as Notts prepare for a pivotal period, having won the 2025 County Championship, integrated a tier-one women’s team, and begun redevelopment of the Trent Bridge Pavilion.
Kenyon said it was a “tremendous privilege” to join the County Champions and to take on responsibility for one of cricket’s most iconic venues.
