Tottenham have been fraught with speculation since the departure of Daniel Levy was confirmed.

The 63-year-old finally called time on his involvement with the Lilywhites in September, after a 25-year stint as executive chairman of the Premier League giants.

Levy’s exit will bring a major change at Tottenham, and it has even served to cast the ownership and stance of ENIC into doubt.

With that in mind, Tottenham News takes a look at every member of the board, which has changed drastically in recent months.

MORE SPURS STORIES

Peter Charrington – Non-Executive Chairman

Peter Charrington has effectively taken on Levy’s role at Tottenham since his departure.

He is the director of the ENIC company who own Spurs, and previously spent over 26 years as the Chief Executive Officer of private banking firm Citigroup.

Charrington is also part of the boards of companies Amey, Acteon and Amaloq AG.

He joined the backroom team in N17 as a non-executive director in March 2025, but assumed what is a close resemblance of Levy’s role following his departure in September 2025.

Vinai Vinkatesham OBE – Chief Executive Officer

Vinai Venkatesham joined Tottenham as their new CEO in the summer of 2025, having previously had success in a similar role on the other side of the North London divide.

He has also sat on the boards of the Wembley Stadium Advisory board and the British Olympic Association, so he has plenty of experience when it comes to the crossover between business and sport.

Venkatesham was awarded an OBE in 2024, and joined the Lilywhites in April 2025, less than a year after leaving his post at Arsenal.

He had previously held the CEO position at the Gunners for six years.

Matthew Collecott – Operations and Finance Director

Matthew Collecott is Tottenham’s Operations and Finance Director, and he also holds an identical role within ENIC.

He has been part of the company since 1998, and has overseen involvement with the likes of Slavia Prague and AEK Athens as part of his duties with the group.

Collecott dovetails his role on the board in N17, with a secondary position as a Trustee of the Tottenham Hotspur Foundation.

Jonathan Turner – Lead Independent Director

Jonathan Turner is the final member of the quartet that make up the board at Tottenham.

He is an Oxford University graduate, having earned a first-class degree in philosophy, politics and economics back in 1994.

Turner has over 24 years of experience in investment banking, which includes a stint as President of Qatalyst Partners, which he also co-founded.
