We are delighted to confirm Giuliana Di Rollo has joined the Hibernian Supporters board, adding a fresh perspective and renewed enthusiasm as we look ahead to an exciting new era for the club.
Giuliana’s appointment follows a successful nomination process, which will be ratified by members at our next AGM.
A lifelong Hibs fan and modern languages teacher, Giuliana has returned to Edinburgh following a period of time living and teaching in Glasgow, where she was a regular traveller on the West of Scotland Hibs Supporters Club buses.
Her career took her to live in Germany in recent years, where she saw first hand the impact supporters can have on their football clubs, and how important it is that fans play a proactive role in the success of their team.
Speaking of her appointment, Giuliana said:
“I want to build the connection between fans and the club as much as possible. I also want to ensure the ambitions of the club can be supported as much as possible by a collective group of like-minded Hibs fans moving forward.
“Having lived in Germany I saw how powerful and beneficial a fan presence can be for a football team, and I’m hopeful we can continue to play our part in making Hibs as successful as possible.”
Jim Adie, Hibernian Supporters chairman said:
“It’s great to welcome Giuliana on to the board and we are really grateful for her eagerness to support the work we do, as we look ahead to a new chapter for the club.
“We want to play a full and active role in the club’s sustained success and it’s brilliant to have a fresh perspective on the board as we continue to progress towards raising our next £250,000 for the club.
“We are always on the lookout for offers of support, and would encourage anyone who thinks they might be able to lend a helping hand from a professional or personal perspective to get in touch with us.”
