Ian Ritchie Leaves All England Club To Become Rugby Union CEO

Ian Ritchie today was named Rugby Football Union CEO, leaving his position of All England Club CEO after six years. This comes six months after the RFU parted ways with John Steele. Ritchie was "believed to be on a salary"of US$465,000, or US$40,000 more than the RFU paid Steele. Ritchie's start date "still has to be agreed, but it is hoped he will be able to start work by March" (GUARDIAN.co.uk, 12/14). RFU acting CEO Stephen Brown will "revert to his role" as CFO "once Ritchie has served a yet-to-be-determined period of notice" (REUTERS, 12/14).
