Investment, Connections, and Legacy - The CEO Show Episode #8: Christopher Corey

Описание: Today, we’re going headfirst into football ownership, global leadership and the vision behind building a modern football club.

In this episode, we sit down with Christopher Corey, President of Walton & Hersham F.C. and Miami Host City Liaison for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, to explore his journey into football investment and leadership.
