Plymouth Argyle have appointed Paul Berne as the club's new chief executive.
The 51-year-old succeeds Andrew Parkinson, who stepped down last month, and will officially begin his new role on 1 January.
Berne has been a director of the League One club since 2019 and was most recently chief executive at Trewithen Dairy.
He has also worked in finance roles for Ginsters and Samworth Brothers.
"Paul brings a wealth of experience to the role having held several high-level positions across a range of sectors," chairman Simon Hallett told the club website.
"He will bring a freshness and energy to the role that will lift the whole club as we continue the rebuild both on and off the pitch."
Berne added: "Having been involved at board level since 2019, I have seen first-hand the transformation the club has been under both on and off the pitch under Andrew's leadership.
"I now have the opportunity to continue that work using my background and expertise, and help Argyle continue to excel.
"The club has huge potential, and it is now my job to help realise our ambitions to be a sustainable Championship club."
