The club have announced the shock departure of Williamson after more than two years at the club. Director Shaun Harvey will take over as acting chief executive following the unexpected change at the top.

Williamson had roles with Inter Milan, DC United and Miami FC before joining Wrexham as CEO in 2024, shortly after the club had secured promotion to League One, and he played a key role during a period of continued progress at The Racecourse

Wrexham secured a record-breaking third successive promotion in 2024-25 and he admits nothing could have prepared him for the emotions of seeing Wrexham make football history by climbing from the National League to the Championship in just three seasons.

"That was a moment that I will always remember and I would say is probably the best moment in my career," said Williamson, in an interview with the Leader last year.

"It's something that I didn't realise how it would take my emotions and just capture the entire day.

"I was kind of stunned, to be honest. I had tears in my eyes. It was something that really was remarkable.

"Back-to-back-to-back promotions, it's not that it's just never been done before, but people really don't understand how difficult that is to accomplish.

"To have one manager and several players that have come along that entire journey, it's just so challenging to get everything right consistently for that long period of time in order to be able to have back-to-back-to-back promotions like that.

"While I was able to celebrate the third in that consecutive back-to-back-to-back and it was amazing for me, the other people that have been around the club for all three, it's just remarkable for them to have experienced that.

"It's something that people outside of football and even inside of football don't necessarily understand how challenging it is to do that."

Williamson believes Wrexham's success was built on a culture of accountability throughout the club, with everyone understanding that standards must be maintained every day.

"I think in sports and in football, whatever position you hold, you need to realise that there are two or three people behind you in line that would love to have your position. That's throughout an entire organisation," he added.

"You have to be accountable but you also have to be thinking, I have to push myself hard, personally and professionally, because I want to have results and success because I know if I don't, there's people waiting there in line behind you.

"That's something that if you have the confidence and you have the mentality of being able to keep focused on what the end goal is, then you're going to get things right more times than you get things wrong.

"Of course, you will make mistakes, but you have to get up, dust yourself down and keep going forward and that's what true success is.

"You've even seen that with the club on the pitch as well at times where maybe there's been a slight stumble and the squad has just dusted themselves down and went right back in and focused on what the task was, which was to get results.

"That type of approach throughout the three seasons is what's allowed for the success on the pitch with the back-to-back to back.

"A lot of it is about momentum and keeping that momentum going."
