Premier League club Newcastle have announced the incorporation of Jacobo Solís as a member of the club’s Board of Directors. He is responsible for direct investments in Europe in the international investments division of PIF. He has been directly involved with Newcastle United since the club’s acquisition by a PIF-led investment group in October 2021, and is closely linked to the club’s strategy and plans for the future.
Before joining PIF, Solis worked as an investment banker in the United States and, before that, as a lawyer in his native Spain.
He also serves on the boards of LIV Golf, E1 Series, the all-electric powerboat championship, and POSCO E&C, the South Korean engineering company, all of which have received investments from PIF.
Solis’ appointment will further strengthen the Club’s board of directors and follows that of Roger Thornton in October 2024.
