Doug Reed, former University of Arizona Race Track Industry Program director and longtime racing executive, has announced full-time pursuit of his consulting practice as principal for Racing, Gaming & Entertainment LLC (RGE).
Reed’s focus will be on operations, strategy, innovation and a strong network to partner with others domestically and internationally as the resources are needed.
“I look forward to utilizing my background as a customer, racing executive and director of the school of racing in a new way to hopefully unfreeze the old model of the business and facilitate business experimentation and change,” says Reed.
Reed and Mike Weiss, another longtime racing executive, are collaborating their efforts to offer services to niche racetracks, fair-race meets and multi-use entertainment facilities that may not have the network or continuity of full time racing/entertainment executives to manage the horse racing and entertainment operations and grow the business.
