Warne(Dominic)named to top Cricket West Indies commercial role
ST JOHN'S, Antigua, (CMC):
Cricket West Indies (CWI) has appointed Englishman Dominic Warne as director of Commercial, Marketing and Communications.
The appointment, which took effect October 1, will see the executive taking responsibility for CWI's commercial operations and revenue generation, along with marketing and communications initiatives.
"I'm really excited to join CWI's new leadership team and strengthen the iconic Windies brand," Warne said.
"The flamboyant cricket, colour and atmosphere that so defines Caribbean cricket is unique. We have a great opportunity to connect with fans and excite commercial sponsors, so I'm looking forward to growing partnerships with the territorial boards and sponsors to make the cricketing heartbeat of the region beat stronger."
According to CWI, Warne brings over two decades of marketing and sponsorship strategy to the new post.
Warne, who will be based at the CWI headquarters in Antigua, joins another Englishman, Johnny Grave, who was appointed chief executive officer last February.
About the author
Guyana Diaspora Forum
We have a large database of Guyanese worldwide. Most of our readers are in the USA, Canada, and the UK. Our Blog and Newsletter would not only carry articles and videos on Guyana, but also other articles on a wide range of subjects that may be of interest to our readers in over 200 countries, many of them non-Guyanese We hope that you like our selections.
It is estimated that over one million Guyanese, when counting their dependents, live outside of Guyana. This exceeds the population of Guyana, which is now about 750,000. Many left early in the 50’s and 60’s while others went with the next wave in the 70’s and 80’s. The latest wave left over the last 20 years. This outflow of Guyanese, therefore, covers some three generations. This outflow still continues today, where over 80 % of U.G. graduates now leave after graduating. We hope this changes, and soon.
Guyanese, like most others, try to keep their culture and pass it on to their children and grandchildren. The problem has been that many Guyanese have not looked back, or if they did it was only fleetingly. This means that the younger generations and those who left at an early age know very little about Guyana since many have not visited the country. Also, if they do get information about Guyana, it is usually negative and thus the cycle of non-interest is cultivated.
This Guyana Diaspora Online Forum , along with its monthly newsletter, aims at bringing Guyanese together to support positive news, increase travel and tourism in Guyana and, in general, foster the birth of a new Guyana, which has already begun notwithstanding the negative news that grabs the headlines. As the editor and manager of the publication, I am committed to delivering Blog entries and Newsletters that are politically balanced, and focused on the positive ideas we wish to share and foster among Guyanese.
