Andrew Ingleton appointed new Cricket Victoria CEO

Mr Ingleton is currently the Executive General Manager of Game and Market Development at Cricket Australia – a role he has held for five years.

Prior to his career in cricket, Mr Ingleton held a range of senior management and executive level positions in the corporate sector with Dulux and internationally with Orica Mining in Latin America.

Cricket Victoria Chairman Russell Thomas said, “After a thorough and extensive process, we are delighted to have secured Andrew as the organisation’s next CEO. He brings a wealth of consumer and commercial expertise to our business.”

“In addition to being a proven business leader in both the sporting and commercial sectors, Andrew has an excellent strategic understanding of the challenges ahead of us from his time with Cricket Australia. We are confident Andrew is the right person to lead us through the next phase of our strategic plan and our settling into Victorian Cricket and Community Centre in St Kilda,” Mr Thomas said.

Mr Ingleton said he was excited about the opportunity to build on the success of Victorian cricket.

“This is a tremendous opportunity at a key point in Cricket Victoria’s history,” Mr Ingleton said.

“I look forward to building relationships with our local community at our exciting new headquarters and with the broader Victorian cricket community in general.”

“Cricket Victoria has a crucial role to play at every level of our game – from building our grassroots facilities, clubs and participation through to successful Big Bash franchises and producing more Australian cricketers. I’m looking forward to working with the dedicated Cricket Victoria team to deliver on our objectives in the years ahead,” Mr Ingleton said.

A former Premier cricketer with Carlton Cricket Club and Melbourne Uni Cricket Club, Mr Ingleton will commence in the role in early March 2018.
