The Club is pleased to announce that Eric Hinson, a former senior executive within the global aviation and aerospace sectors, will be joining the Board as a Non-Executive Director.
He joins Peter Charrington, Vinai Venkatesham, Matthew Collecott and Jonathan Turner as part of a refreshed and modernised Board, now led by a Non-Executive Chairman, reflecting a new era for the Club.
Having held executive and board level positions within SIMCOM International, Honeywell, Piaggio and Gulfstream, Eric’s experience in the management of high-performance teams, strategic transformation and organisational growth brings additional expertise to the Board as it supports the executive team to deliver long-term sporting success. Eric also served in the US Navy as an officer and a pilot in training, fleet and operational test squadrons. He flew a variety of aircraft including the F/A-18 Hornet.
Peter Charrington, Non-Executive Chairman, said: “To deliver more and better for our fans requires a broad mix of expertise and experience at Board level.
“Eric brings valuable expertise in high-performing and high-pressure corporate and military teams which, combined with the strengths of the wider team, will put us in an even stronger position to deliver on our goals.”
Eric Hinson said: “I am delighted to have been appointed to the Board and to be bringing a different set of skills to support the management team. I am looking forward to working with Vinai, Peter and the rest of the Board to support the great work already underway.”
