Tottenham Hotspur chief Ryan Norys is among four senior executives joining MotoGP as the championship reshapes its management team ahead of the 2027 season.
Norys will leave his position as Chief Revenue Officer at the Premier League club to become MotoGP’s new Chief Commercial Officer.
He has been with Tottenham since 2022, having previously worked at AS Roma, Manchester City and Miami Dolphins.
His new role will put him in charge of MotoGP’s commercial activities, covering areas such as sponsorship, licensing, hospitality and marketing.

The championship has also turned to executives with backgrounds in Formula 1, NFL and UFC for three other senior appointments.
Sameer Pabari has been named Chief Media Officer, bringing experience from the NFL, Warner Bros. Discovery and Manchester United.
Louise Young, meanwhile, will become Chief Operating Officer after spending more than eight years at Formula 1, most recently as Chief Race Promotion Officer.
The quartet is completed by new Chief Strategy Officer Denitza Batchvarova, who previously held a senior strategy and corporate finance position at TKO Group Holdings, the parent company of UFC and WWE.
MotoGP Deputy CEO Carlos Ezpeleta said the new hires bring expertise from some of the world’s biggest sports and entertainment properties as the championship targets further international and commercial growth.
The appointments are the latest changes to MotoGP’s senior management, following Ezpeleta’s promotion in August and Vince Russell’s arrival as Chief Financial Officer in May. Enrique Aldama has also taken up the position of Chief Administrative Officer.
The revamped leadership structure will work under long-serving CEO Carmelo Ezpeleta as MotoGP prepares for significant changes in 2027, including the introduction of 850cc engines and Pirelli replacing Michelin as the championship’s tyre supplier.
