SCOTTISH Rugby have appointed Julian Momen, the former head of Carlsberg UK, as the organisation’s chief commercial officer. The 58-year-old will oversee Murrayfield’s commercial, ticketing and marketing functions, answering directly to chief executive Mark Dodson.
While Momen is taking over some of the key roles which previously fell within Dominic McKay’s remit, this is a newly created position so he is not a direct replacement for the former chief operating officer.
“Rugby both in the UK and internationally has emerged from the Covid pandemic with a number of exciting new business and sporting opportunities which will transform the sport in the coming years,” said Dodson.
“We are therefore delighted to welcome Julian to our senior executive team and the experience he will bring in managing change, developing business models and ensuring Scottish Rugby continues to be a commercially attractive brand for its partners to enable investment throughout the Scottish game.”
Momen will start in his new post in early January 2022.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
