Board of Directors

Adam Webb completed the purchase of the controlling interest in St Johnstone in July 2024, beginning an exciting new chapter in the proud history of our club.

An Atlanta-based lawyer, Adam quickly highlighted that this would be a special journey about values, integrity, success on the pitch, excitement in the stands and service to the community.

When taking hold of the reins here in Perth, Adam stressed importance in thanking Geoff Brown for his 38 years of "tireless and successful" service to the club.

Back home, Adam lives with his wife and four children in Atlanta, Georgia. He is an avid reader and uses his free time to travel and stay in shape.

Francis Smith was appointed the new chief executive of St Johnstone Football Club in August 2024. 

Francis proudly stepped into the position having served as the CEO of The St Johnstone Community Trust for two-and-a-half years.

During that time he has played a significant role in helping the Trust develop, grow and continue to succeed in their goal of changing lives through football.

A former Scottish hurdler, Francis also has an abundance of experience as an operations manager and a business development executive.

He is passionate about growing the football club and ensuring that business is being driven Monday to Friday at McDiarmid Park and not just on a Saturday. 

The fondly remembered former player, Roddy Grant is now Director for the team he proudly played for over two spells, played 242 scoring 68 times.

The highlight of Roddy's first spell in Perth (89-92) was lifting old First Division as part of Alex Totten's side in 1990. He later returned to the club in 1995, after appearing for Dunfermline Athletic and Partick Thistle in between, to help Saints regain promotion to the Premier League in 1997 and then being part of the 1998/99 side which reached the League Cup Final (losing to Rangers 2-1) and finishing 3rd in the league to qualify for Europe the following year.

Roddy, who started his career at Cowdenbeath, turned out for Ayr United, Brechin City and Peterhead following his departure from St. Johnstone in 2000. Before the inclusion of some new names to the Scottish Football League in more recent years, Roddy once held the special record of having scored a goal against every club in the top four divisions of Scottish football.

After coaching at Stirling Albion, under his former Saints team mate Allan Moore, Roddy came full circle and joined St. Johnstone in a non-playing capacity. He first became Administrator for the successful Super Saints Lotto in November 2011, before being made an Associate Director in July 2012.

Matt Klase is a lawyer who specialises in protecting citizens and consumers against government and corporate abuses of power. To date he has assisted in recovering more than one billion dollars for his clients.  

Matt is a passionate Saints fan and proud club investor. He brings an underdog mentality and creative problem-solving skills to the St Johnstone boardroom and is committed to the long-term, sustainable success of the club.

Matt resides with his wife and three kids in Georgia. In his spare time, he loves to travel and spend time outdoors.    

Daniel Lamb brings a wealth of experience and passion to his role as a director at St Johnstone Football Club. A lifelong fan of the Saints, Daniel has been a season ticket holder for many years and has actively contributed to the club's IT systems since 2014.

With over 25 years of experience in the IT industry, Daniel has been involved in projects, taking on various roles and responsibilities, currently a director in a software company based in Delaware, US and head of international sales for a software company based in Singapore.

His extensive expertise in support, sales and community engagement has led him to establish a successful IT services company based in Perth, Scotland, serving customers worldwide.

As a dedicated supporter of St Johnstone and an expert in technology, Daniel's leadership and knowledge help drive the club forward, ensuring that it stays connected with fans and operates efficiently in the digital age.
