Paul Nolan was headhunted to The FA by then CEO Adam Crozier, a decision that kick started Nolan’s career as one of the most influential people in the field of sports recruitment, leading to the creation of Nolan and Partners, one of the first specialist sports industry recruitment consultancies.

Nolan and his team have placed many of the people who occupy sport’s boardrooms around the world and he has spent two decades at the sharp end of several regular themes of this podcast, such as digital transformation, diversity and inclusion, performance incentives and the sports industry’s relationship with change.

If you ever wonder what it takes to reach the C-Suite and stay there, this is well worth your time.
