LONDON (CelebrityAccess) – Darrell McLennan Fordyce has been appointed Global Chief Marketing Officer of 23 Capital, a leading capital and solutions provider focused exclusively on the sports, music and entertainment sectors.

In this new role, McLennan Fordyce, who has more than 20 years of experience across the sports and media landscape, will be tasked with building the 23 Capital brand across Europe, North America and beyond. He will work closely with the company’s origination and strategy teams to define 23 as one of the world’s leading cross-border lenders to the sector.

On the agency side, he has worked with WPP and Ivory Worldwide, and has advised on bids to host the Ryder Cup, Volvo Ocean Race and America’s Cup.

Stephen Duval, co-founder of 23 Capital said: “Darrell joins 23 at an exciting time in our growth and brings a wealth of marketing and media experience that will help shape the business as we continue to explore opportunities across new sectors and markets.”

McLennan Fordyce added: “Having seen all sides of our industry, from brand to rights holder, agency to governing body, I am excited to join 23 Capital who represent a refreshing and dynamic approach to the sports, media and entertainment industry. Jason Traub and Stephen Duval have built a fantastic team and I look forward to helping 23 Capital realize their ambition to be the pre-eminent provider of capital and solutions to the Sports, Music and Entertainment sectors.”
