Gill will take over from outgoing CEO, Andrew Demetriou, who finishes in the role on 5 June.

After leaving university, Gill worked in a strategic role at Andersen Consulting (now Accenture), which involved a variety of industries in different countries. This included a six-month contract in the Philippines.

Gill joined the AFL in May 2000 as a strategic planner. He has been Chief Broadcasting and Commercial Operations Officer at the AFL since 2003, and has been the effective second in command since 2012.

Gill was a top amateur footballer and was best on ground in the 1994 ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ÊÓƵ College premiership team. Frank Henagan recalled Gill coming off the ground with a blood nose at a crucial point in the final against Ormond. Frank, ever practical, instructed the physio to ‘bung some cotton wool in his nose and get him back out there!’

It is a measure of Frank’s respect for Gill’s ability that he was named vice captain of his ‘Team of the Century’.  

Twenty years after his playing days, Gill is still a passionate supporter of the Uni Blues team and can be found on the sidelines with the family.

Gill is married to ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ÊÓƵ alumna Laura Blythe (TC 1994). They have three children.
