Todd Greenberg named as Cricket Australia's CEO

Todd Greenberg has been appointed Cricket Australia's (CA) Chief Executive Officer. He will succeed Nick Hockley, who announced his departure in August.

"I am grateful to be given the opportunity to take on this enormously important role in Australian sport and to further my involvement with a game I've loved since childhood," Greenberg said. "This is an extremely exciting time for cricket with the rapid growth of the game across the globe creating fantastic opportunities, while also presenting some challenges to ensure Australian cricket retains its position at the very peak of the game."

Greenberg brings experience from roles with the National Rugby League, the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs, Stadium Australia, and most recently, the Australian Cricketers' Association.

"Thanks to the work of the current administration the game has strong fundamentals in place. I want to ensure we build on this momentum so Australian cricket continues to thrive – from local parks to the nation's biggest stadiums.

"I'm grateful to all those at the Australian Cricketers' Association where we formed positive and productive partnerships across the game, and I look forward to continuing and enriching these relationships for the betterment of cricket."

Greenberg holds degrees in sports science from the University of NSW and a master's degree from the University of Technology, Sydney.

"Todd will bring enormous experience to the role from his time leading the National Rugby League and his current position as CEO of the Australian Cricketers' Association, as well as his time in club and stadium management," said Mike Baird, the CA Chair. "He is also a renowned driver of commercial growth and innovation, such as bringing the State of Origin to Melbourne and introducing the NRLW.

"We are entering a period of great opportunity and the recruitment panel and the CA Board was enormously impressed by Todd's passion for cricket and his vision to build on the achievements of the past few years and continue the game's growth.

"I would like to thank Nick Hockley who will leave the game in a position of great strength at the end of the season with important foundations including our broadcast rights deal, MOU and seven-year content strategy in place."
