Le Floc’h, UEFA’s former marketing director until 2010, leaves Dubai-based Customised Solution FZ to take up the role of FIFA’s chief commercial officer on Oct. 11. The position was created as part of the restructuring of world football’s governing body in the wake of the corruption scandals that brought the federation to its knees.
Le Floc’h, who also worked for FIFA former marketing partner ISL, is heading up the marketing and TV divisions. He will report to deputy secretary general Marco Villiger and also sit on FIFA’s management board.
The former UEFA official worked under the current FIFA president when Gianni Infantino was general secretary of European football’s governing body.
“Philippe Le Floc’h brings high-level experience with proven success in growing and developing business in the TV broadcasting and marketing of sports events,” FIFA said in a statement. “He has worked all over the world, including for a confederation as well as several marketing agencies, where he developed strategies and then delivered them.”
One of his immediate concerns is to drive up sponsorships for the 2018 World Cup. In July, Russia’s Alfa Bank was unveiled as the first regional sponsor – FIFA’s biggest partnership for the Russia tournament in the wake of a scandal-hit 18 months for FIFA.
FIFA’s new commercial strategy for the World Cup includes making four regional sponsor slots available in Europe, North America, South America, the Middle East and Africa, plus Asia.
Infantino prioritized ramping up sponsorship revenue when he was elected in February. He spoke of the challenges of reviving FIFA’s flagging financial fortunes; the federation recorded a US$122 million loss for 2015.
In March, Wanda Group became FIFA’s first Chinese top-tier sponsor, signing on through the 2030 World Cup.
FIFA faces a US$500 million shortfall in sponsorship revenues for the current cycle. Projected revenues from the 2015-18 cycle are US$5.65 billion.

The rules are simple: *never* ever use sync primitives that involve system calls It includes mutexes, futexts, semaphores and alike Want to synchronise – spin on an atomic But for most cases you just should not synchronise at all It’s easy
I did some lazy-man parallel processing (we’re talking many seperate text files, wgets, data extraction/processing) years ago with bash, very bad practice but it it involved grep-ing the output of ps aux in a loop with a wait period, only firing off new tasks when the number of active tasks was below a certain threshold, and this number could be altered depending on how big a box it was running on The whole thing was dreadfully slow but it worked, and at the time it was only supposed to be used once, so I cared more about the result than the process I re-did the whole thing in python afterwards, and although that was multi-threaded it ran many times faster on much less powerful hardware
