Luke Sayers AM[1][2][3] is an Australian businessman. He is the former CEO of PricewaterhouseCoopers Australia.[4][5][6][7][8][9][10] Since 2012, Sayers has served on the board of the Carlton Football Club and became the President of Carlton Football Club on August 17, 2021.[11][12][13][14][15][16] In 2019 Sayers was made a Member of the Order of Australia for his significant service to business, to people with a disability, and to the community.[1]

Business career

Sayers served as CEO of PricewaterhouseCoopers Australia for eight years.[17] which is a company that provides professional services networks in the world by delivering quality in Assurance, Tax and Advisory services.[18] Sayers later became the executive chairman of Sayers Group, which is a Melbourne-based investment and advisory company.[19]

Administration career

Carlton Football Club

Sayers joined the Carlton Football Club as a member of the Board of Directors in 2012.[20] On 28 April 2021, it was announced that the board of the club unanimously elected Sayers as president-elect, at a board meeting to take over the role at the end of the 2021 season.[21] In June 2021, Sayers in his role as president-elect, during the transition period, also initiated a panel that consisted of CEO Cain Liddle with external panel members Matthew Pavlich, Geoff Walsh and Graham Lowe to lead an external review into the club’s football department operations in the wake of poor on-field results in the 2021 season due to disappointment of expectations.[22]

Sayers officially became the President of Carlton Football Club on 17 August 2021, just one round before the end of the 2021 season,[23] after previous club president Mark LoGiudice stepped down from the role early.[24] The completion of the club review initiated led by Sayers also lead to a clean-out at the club with substantial changes to the club's administration and football department.[25]
