Tom Reilly Removed as CEO of Melbourne Racing Club

The Melbourne Racing Club announced on Monday that Tom Reilly has been removed as CEO.

“Sometimes it just doesn't work out,” MRC chairman John Kanga said in a press statement. “Tom was only CEO for three months and when things don't go as well as they should, it is best to pivot and move on.

“Everyone can be assured that we have put a management structure in place to ensure a smooth transition. I will spend substantial time at the Club as chairman, as I did before Tom Reilly was appointed.”

He added, “I am pleased to announce that we have appointed Tanya Fullarton as chief operating officer to work with me. Tanya has an excellent reputation and deep experience and relationships across the racing industry.”
