SHANE SMITH - COO

Starting at PAFC in 2008 as Finance Manager, Shane joined the Club at a time when it was in a challenging financial position. By 2013 when Shane became CFO, driven by the return to Adelaide Oval, the Club was on a strategic journey towards financial recovery. In 2017-2019, Shane was responsible for the operational delivery of the Club’s three AFL games for Premiership Points held in Shanghai, China. 

Post COVID, working alongside the CEO, Shane has set the Club on a journey to a debt-free future. From November 2021, Shane became COO to align with the additional remit of delivering a redeveloped licensed Club and high performance facilities at Alberton Oval for the AFL and AFLW program.
