Leicestershire announce the appointment of Emma White as the club's new chief executive officer, starting from 1 September.
Leicestershire have announced the appointment of Emma White as the club's new chief executive officer from 1 September.
White has previously been managing director of Champ rugby union side Doncaster Knights and has held management positions at Limerick and Sedgefield Racecourses.
She replaces current CEO Sean Jarvis, who has held the role since 2020.
"I'll be joining equipped with a range of experience and a proven track record in driving success in the sector," White told Leicestershire's club website.
"Sean has done a wonderful job and the club is in a great position; my aim is to build on this success leveraging the opportunities brought about by The Hundred."
In May, it was confirmed Jarvis would step down from his role in the autumn after overseeing the Foxes' first trophy in 14 years, the 2023 Metro Bank One-Day Cup.
He added: "I'm proud to be departing with the club in such a great position for the start of a new era. We now have a team that can compete on all fronts.
"We're looking to finish this season on a successful note, which is a great way for me to depart and let the new chapter begin."
Leicestershire currently sit top of Division Two in the County Championship, 28 points clear of second-placed Glamorgan, with promotion looking assured this year.
However, the Foxes have been less impressive this season in white-ball cricket and are currently sixth in the One-Day Cup Group A standings following three defeats in their first five matches.
