Michael Williamson became CEO of Wrexham AFC in May 2024 after working with Miami FC. He is responsible for the club’s overall strategy and daily operations, reporting to co-chairmen Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds and the club’s board. Since joining, he has led several major infrastructure projects, including a new UEFA Category 3 Youth Academy at Darlands, the purchase of The Rock for the women’s team, and the approved redesign of a 7,750-seat Kop Stand at the Racecourse Ground.

In his first year, the men’s team achieved a third consecutive promotion, reaching the EFL Championship for the first time in 43 years. Off the pitch, Williamson expanded staff numbers significantly and increased revenue beyond £30 million. Previously, he held senior roles at DC United and Inter Milan, contributing to stadium redevelopment and strategic planning projects.
