Dennis Wise will play an important role in helping Newcastle sign players as Executive Director.
Kevin Keegan will be in control of all first-team affairs.
"This is all part of the vision that recently helped us to secure Kevin Keegan's return to the club as manager," said chairman Chris Mort.
Newcastle have also brought in Tony Jimenez as vice-president of player recruitment and Jeff Vetere from Real Madrid as technical co-ordinator.
The chairman added added: "Two of the conclusions of our strategic review, since acquiring the club, were that the club would benefit from having a football person involved at board level, which it has not had historically.
"Also, that further senior resources are needed for recruiting players of the highest quality from this country and further afield.
"Dennis would like to move away from day-to-day football management to a board role and, with his considerable energy and intelligence, we believe he will do very well.
"With Kevin able to devote his efforts to developing and running the first-team squad, Dennis, Tony and Jeff will each help us to secure success for Newcastle at all levels for the long-term.
"One or two further appointments will follow in the months ahead."
