Board & Non-Executive Director Roles

Independent board leadership for sport, media and technology organisations

​

A strong Non-Executive Director brings more than oversight. They bring a different perspective — from outside the day-to-day, but deeply informed about the industry — that challenges assumptions, surfaces blind spots and helps leadership teams make better decisions at critical moments.

Michael Broughton is available for Non-Executive Director and Advisory Board positions at organisations operating in sport, media, technology and adjacent sectors. He brings to every board:

 

• 25+ years of direct experience in the sports industry across advisory, investment, executive search and operations

• A genuine understanding of investor expectations and capital markets, from both the advisor and operator perspectives

• Deep knowledge of the media, digital and technology landscape as it intersects with sport

• An international network spanning clubs, governing bodies, investors, broadcasters and technology companies

• Directness, rigour and a track record of asking the questions that need to be asked

​

WHAT GOOD NED ENGAGEMENT LOOKS LIKE

 

The approach to board work is straightforward: we take the responsibility seriously, prepare thoroughly, and are willing to have difficult conversations when they are necessary. He does not collect board positions for the title — he takes them because he believes he can add genuine value.

​

We are most effective in organisations where:

• There is a significant commercial, investment or technology dimension to the business

• The board needs someone who can engage credibly with both the operational team and external investors

• There is appetite for constructive challenge and independent perspective

• The organisation is operating in, or adjacent to, the sports, media or entertainment industries

• You are lokoing to bring in external investment
