Collingwood Football Club president

Browne was the fourteenth president of Collingwood. He took over the role from Eddie McGuire after the former AFL president stood down over backlash following comments he made about the "Do Better" report. Browne was appointed to the role in a unanimous vote, replacing Mark Korda.
Browne announced his resignation from the board and as president in October 2024, citing a desire to focus on his personal health and wellbeing. He was succeeded as president by Barry Carp.
