MRC executive transition continues with Ashley Curnow appointed chief commercial officer

Melbourne Racing Club chief executive Tanya Fullarton is building on her executive team, with experienced marketer Ashley Curnow promoted to the role of chief commercial officer.

Curnow, who had previously been executive director of marketing, membership and customer, has been confirmed as the new CCO, reporting to Fullarton as part of a seven-person executive.

Curnow has been at the MRC since 2017, progressing from digital marketing manager to general manager of marketing to her most recent role as executive director.  

Prior to that, she had worked for five years in marketing roles with Racing Victoria.

Fullarton was appointed CEO on a permanent basis in late October, after the departure of Tom Reilly in June.

Her other current executives are chief financial officer Sam Clogger, executive director of corporate affairs Anna Stefanatos, General Counsel Sam Constantinou, executive director of property Chris Szworak, as well as Russell Evans, who is chief executive officer of Pegasus Leisure Group.

Evans is the only member of the executive remaining from the start of 2025.
