Ian Priest Joins CSM Sport & Entertainment As Chief Operating Officer

CSM Sport & Entertainment has appointed Ian Priest, one of the founders of sister advertising agency VCCP, as Group Chief Operating Officer (COO) with immediate effect.

Ian will move from CSM’s parent company Chime Communications, where over the past couple of years he has helped launch Chime’s new ventures and international growth. 

Ian, a self-confessed ‘sports nut,’ described his new role at CSM as ‘my dream job.’  He added:  “I am delighted to be joining a group of companies which I’ve admired for a long time from my view in other parts of the Chime group and I hope my experience and knowledge from the wider company will add value to CSM and help their flourishing business to continue to grow.”

Chairman of CSM Sport & Entertainment, Lord Coe said: “I speak for the entire team here when I say that I am thrilled that Ian is joining us. I know that he will be very valuable as we continue and expand across our exciting portfolio of businesses.”
