Gordon & Bezbatchenko Provide CEO Update

Ian Gordon and Tim Bezbatchenkoko have provided an update on the recruitment process for a new Chief Executive Officer.

Since February, Gordon and Bezbatchenko have been working closely with an executive firm on the hiring of a new CEO, and the Club is now entering the final stage of the process.

“We’ve had a very thorough process led by Tim, the Board and I,” said Executive Director Ian Gordon.

“We have been really pleased with the calibre of applicants that came forward, and we’re at the point now where we’re very happy with the person we’re moving forward with.

“I think he’ll be a great fit for us managing the business side of the Club and a good cultural fit. He’s working his transition period now at his current club and we will make an announcement in the coming months.”

Black Knight President and future Hibernian FC Executive Director Tim Bezbatchenko added:

“We’re really pleased with the candidate who has accepted the position. He’s a good person, fits the culture, and has shown business acumen that’ll help take the club to a new level on the commercial side.

“He wants to connect with the community, develop all aspects of the club, and take Hibernian to the next level as we compete in Europe.

“We’re excited about the individual and he will get started soon.”
