Baroness Karren Brady steps down from West Ham United
Brady said she will focus on other businesses and the House of Lords after a 16-year tenure marked by a Europa Conference League title.
On Tuesday, Baroness Karren Brady stepped down as vice-chairman of West Ham United, ending her 16-year tenure at the east London club.
Her departure concludes a 40-year business relationship with joint-chair David Sullivan, whom she joined at West Ham in 2010 after overseeing Birmingham City's £80 million sale.
Brady negotiated West Ham's 2016 move to the 62,500-seat London Stadium and described the 2023 UEFA Europa Conference League victory as a highlight that would stay with her forever.
The exit follows fan protests and a £104.2m pre-tax loss for the year ending May 31, 2025, as West Ham sits 17th in the Premier League.
Brady will now focus on her House of Lords role and other business interests, marking a significant shift from her decades-long involvement in football leadership.
West Ham's vice-president, Karren Brady, announced that she had left this Friday after 16 years at the club. Hammers are currently fighting for Premier League retention.
