The Motorsport Brief - Josh Blanksby the new CEO of Motorsport Australia

We don't often get administrators on the pod but as he prepared for one of MA's biggest weeks of the year Josh kindly swung by the studio. Josh Blanksby has only been in the job for a few weeks but he brings over 20-years experience in the horse racing, wagering, media and hospitality sectors. The former CEO of the Melbourne Racing Club talks about his observations from the first few weeks in the job and gearing up for the Australian Grand Prix at Albert Park. Why he's conscious of the balance between grassroots competition and the headline acts. Threats and opportunities; our passionate army of 12,000 volunteers and giving them the support and encouragement to grow their skillset. You'll get a sense of Josh's leadership style that he brings to an organisation that is so community-focused and what is transferrable from his prior experience. It's an open and engaging chat with a leader who is acutely aware of the reigns he's taken and his commitment to an open-door policy.
