Bohemians appoint Daniel Lambert as new CEO of League of Ireland club
BOHEMIANS have appointed Daniel Lambert as the new CEO of the club they have announced.
Lambert has been a volunteer board member for the guts of the last decade and will now take the role of CEO at the start of September.
And Bohemians President Chris Brien said of the appointment: "Daniel is a successful businessman in his own right, and his experience and success as commercial and marketing director played a huge role in his appointment.
“Under his watch, our commercial income has grown year-on-year and we now have committed commercial partners who are not just sponsors, but long-term social partners who buy into the ethos of what we are trying to achieve as a club embedded in our community.
MARKETING MAN
“On the marketing side, he along with the help of a dedicated team of volunteers, has seen the club reach new heights.
"Marketing has played a big role in increasing our crowds over the past couple of seasons which, pre-Covid, were the highest they have been in generations, while the success of our merchandise operations, now by far and away the best in the league, continues to amaze."
The club advertised for a CEO back in June due to recent growth and Lambert was selected by an Independent recruitment specialist.

Speaking of his appointment, Lambert said: “To focus on growing the club in a full-time capacity, moving from a decade of volunteerism on the board, is a huge personal honour and something I will give every ounce of my efforts to.
“To me, this is a club like no other. A fully members-owned club that is operated sustainably, profitably, democratically and with a big net positive impact on society.
“The Bohemian Football Club was highly innovative and progressive when established 130 years ago. We are quickly returning to these qualities and I want to help us build upon the positive momentum of the turnaround of the past decade and truly realise our full potential.”
