Richard Scudamore

Executive Chairman, Premier League

Richard Scudamore was appointed executive chairman of the Premier League in 2014, having been its chief executive since 1999. Described as the 'father of the modern game', Scudamore is responsible for negotiating multi-billion pound broadcasting and sponsorship rights to the Premiership, which is broadcast to around 212 territories and 643 million homes, and for all regulatory, legal and political matters.
