Horse Racing Ireland has announced that Vicki Donlon has been appointed Interim CEO of Leopardstown Racecourse.
Vicki rejoins Leopardstown Racecourse with immediate effect as the process continues to find a permanent replacement for Tim Husbands, who stepped down this week after five years in the role.
Vicki joined HRI when appointed Commercial & Marketing Manager at Leopardstown Racecourse in 2015. For the last four years, she has led the commercial brief for HRI’s Racecourse Division, working with Leopardstown, Fairyhouse, Navan and Tipperary.
“I am delighted to see Vicki rejoining the team at Leopardstown Racecourse as Interim CEO,” said Paul Dermody, CEO HRI Racecourses.
“She played a huge part in the commercial development of Leopardstown in the past and continued that fine work in her role as Commercial Manager of all four HRI racecourses since 2021.”
“The process to fill the role of Leopardstown CEO on a permanent basis is ongoing and we expect to be in a position to make a further announcement on this in the coming months.”
