Clegg’s distinguished career includes serving as Chief Executive of the British Olympic Association, where he was instrumental in supporting Team GB athletes at twelve Summer and Winter Olympic Games. He was also CEO of Ipswich Town Football Club, Chief Operating Officer of the inaugural 2015 European Games in Baku, and previously managed the British Biathlon Team. Additionally, he played a key role in leading the national political and PR campaigns that secured London’s successful bid for the 2012 Olympic Games.
His extensive experience in sports governance, event management, and strategic leadership makes him an invaluable addition to SBD as the organisation continues to grow and innovate.

My senior leadership team and I look forward to working closely with Simon as we continue to successfully shape the future of SBD and the global strength sports communities we operate within.”
