MN: Massimo Calvelli joins Milan’s board of directors – the new composition

Yesterday, a new member was added to the AC Milan board of Directors, and the landscape changed with the introduction of Massimo Calvelli.

Hiring new board members occurs occasionally, and seeing one arrive now, with the sale of San Siro to Milan and Inter taking place, is not particularly surprising, especially with new companies being established for the deal.

Nevertheless, Paolo Scaroni announced the decision when speaking to the press yesterday and explained his role within the club and how he could contribute.

“Massimo Calvelli is CEO of RedBird International and Operating Partner of RedBird Capital Partners. He holds an important position at RedBird in the sports sector. He joined AC Milan’s Board of Directors today.

“He is a man of sports. He comes from the ATP and spent a number of years in London. RedBird believed he could bring particular value. We see having an Italian in the sports sector as having a highly positive impact.”

The new board

So, what does this mean for the actual board of directors? Well, as MilanNews reports, he will take the place of Mark Dowley, who has been part of the RedBird and Milan partnership since the early stages. The American had experience with generating sponsors and partnerships, so how this will translate must be seen.

With this, the board remains complete with 12 members, those being: Paolo Scaroni, Giorgio Furlani, Stefano Cocirio, Gerald Cardinale Jr., Gordon Matthew Singer, Randy Lewis Levine, Riccardo Stefanelli, Dominic Mitchell, Robert Klein, David Castelblanco, Alfredo Craca, and now Massimo Calvelli.
