Garrick joined Arsenal as Director of Football Operations in 2021, and led the club's executive team as general manager in the past year. The personnel adjustment is accompanied by the evolution of the board structure. Under the leadership of co-chairs Stan Kroenke and Josh Kroenke, Tim Lewis, who has played for Arsenal for five years, has resigned from his position as director and left the club. Kelly Braha and Otto Marley of Kronk Sports Entertainment Group (KSE) will join the board as non-permanent directors, and Dave Steiner, a long-time consultant at KSE. This move will strengthen the KSE family and the club's bond and inject diverse professional experience into Arsenal.
Producer and director Ben Winston, who has held the club's season ticket for more than 30 years, will also join the board as a non-permanent director. The team will work with long-time Lord Harris of Peckham to bring together cross-field experience and knowledge in finance, sports, retail, real estate development, media and entertainment, etc. to help the club develop in the future.
Co-Chairman Josh Kroenke said: "After Richard Garrick's extraordinary achievements as General Manager of Arsenal, we are very happy to promote him to CEO. Richard has made great contributions in our continued battle for important trophys, maintaining financial sustainability and focusing on fans."

Continue to achieve the strategic goals to win important trophys. "
" Upholding the tenet of moving forward, we will strengthen the board by introducing exciting new members who will bring rich experience to the club in multiple fields. These people know and love Arsenal, and will contribute differentiated skills and expertise, inject new thinking and energy to support us in achieving our ambitions."
