Andy Jackson

SVP Middle East

Andy is based in our regional HQ in Riyadh and leads all our activities in the region across our Riyadh and Dubai offices, with a focus on commercial operations and partnerships. Andy’s career in publishing dates back to the 1990s, with his involvement in football kicking off in the early 2000s. Over the years, he has honed his craft working in the UK, Australia, Singapore and now Saudi Arabia for Haymarket, DAZN and Footballco. Andy is focused on building Footballco’s business in Saudi Arabia and across the wider region with an eye on the 2034 FIFA World Cup and wider growth in the region. A keen football fan (Aston Villa), Andy hopes to see Villa lift the FA Cup (the only trophy he’s not seen them lift) and England take home the World Cup.

Outside the Office
Dating back longer than his career in publishing, Andy has spent even longer as a DJ. While less likely to play out from live music venues today, he makes up for it across SoundCloud. Never one to give his ears a rest, when not DJing, he’s a keen consumer of podcasts across sports, business and entertainment.
