Charlie Boss

Charlie Boss is Chief Executive Officer of Bristol City Football Club, where he is leading the club's sporting and organisational transformation with an unambiguous three-season target: the Premier League.

Charlie brings a wealth of experience in commercial sport, media and marketing. Before joining Bristol City, he served as interim Group CEO of The Jockey Club — the largest commercial operator in British horseracing — overseeing 15 racecourses and some of the UK's most iconic sporting events, including the Cheltenham Festival and the Grand National. Prior to that, he was Chief Commercial Officer at Southampton Football Club — where he was part of the leadership team that won promotion back to the Premier League — and spent nearly a decade running Disney's sport businesses across Europe, the Middle East and Africa. 

A commercially-led leader with a track record of building high-performance cultures across elite sport, Charlie brings a rare cross-sector perspective on what it really takes to build organisations that win.
