Alyssar Narey has been appointed Chief Executive Officer of the Central Coast Mariners Football Club (CCMFC).
This appointment makes her the first ever female CEO of the Mariners in the Australian Professional Football Leagues (APL) competition.
“I’m really excited to lead a club with a rich history, filled with great people and with such a strong connection to the community,” Narey said.
“My goal is to make sure the Mariners continue to remain a pillar for the Central Coast and show what’s possible when a business and its community work together.”
Throughout her career thus far, Narey has had extensive experience in sports administration, business development and agency management.
Having most recently joined the Mariners from the APL, the CCMFC says Narey has “consistently demonstrated an ability to elevate operations, rebuild relationships and create a strong connection between the football department and administrative sides of the business”.
Narey’s commitment to the Mariners’ identity as “the community club” will see an increased focus on local engagement, developing talent and ensuring that the Central Coast remains at the heart of all the club’s endeavours.
Interim CEO of the CCMFC Adam Thomson extended his congratulations to Narey’s “well-deserved appointment”, saying, “the club is in incredibly safe hands under her leadership, and I look forward to seeing the Mariners continue to thrive”.
The CCMFC Board says they’re “confident that Alyssar Narey’s leadership will not only continue the club’s success but also set new standards”.
“Her appointment marks the beginning of an exciting new era for the Mariners, one that promises to bring even greater achievements and a stronger connection with the community.”
Narey will step into the role of CEO starting immediately.
