Sussex have announced that Zac Toumazi will take over as their new chief executive from January 2013.

A former group commercial director at Surrey and most recently Hampshire, Toumazi has an excellent track record and will replace Dave Brooks at the PROBIZ County Ground.

Chairman Jim May said: “Dave Brooks leaves us in great shape this month after four outstanding years as chief executive. We had a very strong group of candidates who applied to succeed him.

“We are very pleased to appoint Zac as we believe his commercial experience, cultural fit and passion for cricket give him the credentials to ensure that Sussex continues to lead the way both on and off the pitch.”

Toumazi said: “I am very excited about being appointed chief executive. I look forward to working with the entire team taking Sussex forward while preserving the values that make it so special.”
