Sussex Cricket has announced the appointment of Pete Fitzboydon as the new Chief Executive.
The former Chief Executive Officer of London Sport will begin his new role on the 11th March 2024.
Fitzboydon has also held roles at Badminton England and Cycling UK as Chief Executive Officer.
Jon Filby, Chair of Sussex Cricket, said, “I am delighted that we have been able to appoint Pete Fitzboydon as the Chief Executive of Sussex Cricket.
“Pete joins us at an exciting time, as we seek to return our men’s professional team to the first division of the County Championship, to develop a women’s professional team, to continuing growing the game in all forms across the county and to continue developing The 1st Central County Ground at Hove.
“The Board and I are very much looking forward to working with Pete, whose broad experience of leadership in sport and passion for cricket, kindled by being a frequent visitor to Hove in years gone by, make him the ideal person to lead us through the years ahead.”
Pete Fitzboydon, the new Chief Executive Officer of Sussex Cricket, added, “It is truly an honour to be joining Sussex Cricket as CEO at such an important time.
I have so many fond memories of watching matches at The 1st Central County Ground in the late 2000s when I lived locally, and I am looking forward to playing a part as the club seeks to return to those trophy-laden days.
“Sussex Cricket is an exceptional organisation with a rich heritage. There are so many exciting opportunities ahead for Sussex Cricket, not least developing the women’s game and helping the sport to widen its appeal to all communities.”
