ParalympicsGB Appoints Dan Brooke as New Chair

Dan Brooke has been appointed Chair of ParalympicsGB.

He was Chief Marketing and Commercial Officer and a Board member at Channel 4, a period covering four Summer and Winter Paralympic Games including London 2012, during which he championed the broadcaster’s relationship with the Paralympic movement.

Dan has deep connections with the Paralympic movement as was previously a member of ParalympicsGB’s Social Impact Committee and served on the Global Brand Advisory group at the International Paralympic Committee.

Before that he was Managing Director of Discovery Channels UK and Channel 4’s digital channels, launching the Film4 and E4 channels.

“My lifelong love affair with Paralympic Sport was sparked by London 2012 and snowballed into a lifelong mission for disability inclusion,” said Dan.

“I am honoured to renew my vows with this precious movement and cannot wait to help ParalympicsGB take on the world at Milano Cortina 2026 and Los Angeles 2028 and help change the world for people with disabilities in the process.”

Dan, who is CEO of Smart Energy GB, will succeed Professor Nick Webborn CBE.
