Karren Brady steps down from West Ham after 16 years

Baroness Karren Brady has stepped down from her position as vice-chair of West Ham United.

Premier League

The British business executive was appointed vice-chair of the Premier League club in January of 2010 by joint-chairmen David Sullivan and David Gold.

During her time at the club Brady oversaw West Ham's move from their historic Upton Park home to the London Stadium, and was at the helm as they claimed their first European trophy in more than half a century when they secured UEFA Conference League glory in 2023.

In an interview with The Times, Brady revealed that she had been considering stepping away from her role from the start of the year in order to focus on her business ventures and role as a Conservative life peer in the House of Lords.

Brady subsequently made the decision to step down in mid-February, before her exit was completed on 15 April.

In a statement the 57-year-old detailed her pride in the club's success throughout her tenure.

"It has been a privilege to work alongside the board, management, players, staff and supporters at West Ham United," Brady said.

"Together we have achieved remarkable milestones, but the highlight for me will always be lifting the UEFA Europa Conference League trophy - a moment that will stay with me forever.

"I am deeply grateful for the relationships, challenges and opportunities that have shaped my time at the club."

She added: "While this chapter closes, my passion for football and commitment to supporting the next generation of leaders remains undiminished. I wish West Ham United every success for the future and look forward to following their continued achievements with pride."

West Ham currently sit 17th in the Premier League table after a 0-0 draw against Crystal Palace on Monday night saw them move two points clear of Tottenham in the relegation zone.
