Legal and commercial specialist Miah has over two decades of experience across the global sports, media, and entertainment sectors. He joins Whisper following a period running consultancy business Castalia supporting high profile clients such as Relevent Football Partners. Miah previously held senior roles at Sky Sports, beIN Media Group and Football Marketing Asia.

As General Counsel, Miah will lead Whisper’s legal department, overseeing all commercial negotiations and providing strategic counsel to the board as the company accelerates its international expansion. Miah has a “proven track record” of leading high-stakes negotiations exceeding $1 billion in value for major broadcasters, rights-holders, and governing bodies.

The appointment follows Whisper’s recent return to full private ownership following the exit of Sony Pictures Television. This move has been immediately followed by a bolstering of the senior leadership team, with Miah joining recent key appointments Fiona Morgan (Chief Brand Officer) and Jenny Collins (Chief People and Operating Officer).

Sunil Patel, Whisper Founder & CEO, said: “Ronu is a phenomenal addition to our team. He is a world-class dealmaker who understands the intricacies of the global sports and media market as well as anyone in the business. As we enter this next phase of accelerated growth, his experience in navigating large negotiations and his relentless focus on commercial excellence make him the perfect fit for Whisper’s culture. Having Ronu lead our legal team ensures we have the strategic depth to continue disrupting the industry at scale.”

Ronu Miah, General Counsel, Whisper, added: “I am delighted to be joining Whisper at this exciting point in its journey. Whisper has built an exceptional reputation for creative excellence and innovation in sports storytelling. I am looking forward to working with Sunil and the senior leadership team as the business continues to scale internationally and unlock new commercial opportunities.
