Burrows will start a new job at Aberdeen after 15 years with Motherwell
Alan Burrows has been appointed as the chief executive at Aberdeen on leaving the same position at Scottish Premiership rivals Motherwell.
Burrows announced his Fir Park departure last month, having been in the role since 2014.
He had been due to start his new job on 27 February, but it has since been agreed he will leave Motherwell sooner.
"There is so much potential at this club and so many exciting projects already well under way," said Burrows.
"There is much to do, on and off the pitch, and I am excited and eager to work with the many talented staff who I know are in place at Pittodrie."
Burrows worked at Motherwell for six years before being promoted to chief executive.
"I was fortunate enough to have a number of clubs make contact with me," he added. "However, I was most intrigued by the Aberdeen opportunity.
"I want to place on record my sincere thanks to all my friends and colleagues at Motherwell for 15 memorable years. I wish the club, the directors, the staff, players and the supporters, who were very good to me, every success in the future."
Chairman Jim McMahon said Motherwell have "commissioned a recruitment agent to lead on the identification of a suitable replacement" for Burrows.
