Graham Wright Joins Carlton as Incoming CEO in Strategic Move

Collingwood's former football boss Graham Wright is set to become Carlton's CEO after a transitional period under current CEO Brian Cook.

Graham Wright, previously Collingwood's football chief, will transition to Carlton, starting as CEO-in-waiting next week.
Wright's move to Carlton is seen as a major acquisition, given his success in leading Collingwood to a premiership in 2023.
The leadership change comes as Collingwood's president Jeff Browne announces his departure, leaving key positions unfilled.
Carlton's strategic hire aims to elevate the club's performance, with Wright bringing extensive experience from his tenure at Hawthorn and Collingwood.
Wright had been in discussions for other roles, including with the AFL and Adelaide, but chose Carlton for the opportunity to lead a club.
