Michelle Walder

Non-Executive Director at Brighton & Hove Albion FC

Michelle Walder joined Albion's board as a director in July 2016; she is also chair of Albion's women's team as well as being on the FA Women's Board.

Having studied Russian and French in Bristol and Law in London, Michelle worked in HR in financial services (Commerzbank, Nomura, Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein), before cofounding TXG in 2004 – a leadership development consultancy where she is CEO. She is also a director at Hay Festival and Chair at the Migraine Trust.

A football fan all her life, Michelle's favourite Albion moment was the promotion winning game at the Amex against Wigan Athletic in April 2017, while the women's team's sixth place finish in the 2020/21 Women’s Super League season also holds a special place in her heart.
