British Olympic Association (BOA) chief executive Andy Hunt has been announced as the chef de mission for the Great Britain team at the London 2012 Olympics.
He will have five deputies, including Sir Clive Woodward, who will be deputy chef de mission for sport and will be part of an 11-strong leadership team.
Woodward will be one of three deputy chef de missions responsible for sport along with Tanya Crook, who is joining the BOA from the British Paralympic Association, and Jan Paterson, who was the chef de mission at the inaugural Summer Youth Olympic Games in Singapore earlier this year.
Mark England will be the deputy chef de mission for operations and the Olympic Village while Craig Hunter will have that role for preparation camps.
Hunter was the chef de mission for England's team at the Commonwealth Games in New Delhi this year.
Hugh Chambers, the BOA's chief commercial officer, will be the director for corporate relationships and Dave Reddin will be the director of performance services.
The team is completed by Kate O'Sullivan, the director of the 2012 programme; Darryl Seibel, the director for media and communications; and Louisa Huddy, who will be the director for the attache and ambassador programme.
"It gives me great confidence to be surrounded by such a strong and talented leadership team – all experts in their fields," said Hunt.
"There is a tremendous depth and wealth of Olympic Games and sports performance focused experience across the team.
"The distinct roles that we have developed will provide performance benefits that come from perfecting every aspect of delivery.
"We are not underestimating the challenges and benefits of competing in an Olympic Games on home soil.
"As an organisation, we have oriented ourselves to Games delivery mode already now in order to create a seamless transition from pre-Games to Games time in 2012, when Team GB’s ambition will be to make the nation proud and inspire future generations with their performances."
