Eclat Media Group is pleased to announce the newest addition
to its Board of Directors, Jamie Reigle. With a wealth of experience in the sports
and entertainment industry and a track record of delivering
audience growth and engagement, Jamie is set to play a pivotal role in driving
the company's strategy and ambition as the Asian leader in sports media.
Jamie brings a background
of achievement in executive roles at Manchester United, the Los Angeles Rams,
and Formula E, making him a standout addition to Eclat Media Group.
Most recently,
Jamie served as Chief Executive Officer for Formula E, the global electric
motorsport, where he was responsible for the championship's strategic
direction, operational delivery, and commercial growth. Under Jamie’s leadership,
Formula E reimagined its sporting proposition, implemented technical and
financial regulations to enhance the team's business model, and scaled its
audience while adding Sao Paolo, Hyderabad, Jakarta, and Cape Town to the calendar and McLaren and Maserati as new teams on the
grid. During his time at Formula E, Jamie also served as a board member at Extreme
E, the electric offroad series, and Griiip, a sports analytics and data
visualisation platform.
Before Formula
E, Jamie served as the Executive Vice President of Business Operations at the
Los Angeles Rams, playing a central role in
developing SoFi Stadium and Hollywood Park, a sports and entertainment destination
in Los Angeles. Earlier in his career, Jamie spent a decade at Manchester
United in both the UK and Hong Kong. During this time, Jamie served
as a board member of Manchester United, oversaw global commercial and brand
activities, set up the club’s operations in Hong Kong, and led the company’s
IPO on the New York Stock Exchange in 2012.
"Jamie Reigle is a seasoned
executive with a proven ability to steer organisations towards success,"
stated Mitchell Hong, Group CEO of Eclat Media Group. "His vision and
industry knowledge are aligned with our commitment to innovation and
excellence, and we're honoured to have him join our board."
"I am
thrilled to be part of Eclat Media Group's journey," commented Jamie.
" Eclat is the leading media and broadcast partner for both international
rights holders and regional sports across Asia. SPOTV serves fans the sports
content they crave, live and on-demand, across linear and digital distribution
platforms as well as direct to consumers.
I look forward
to contributing to Eclat’s strategic direction, new business initiatives, and development
of sports intellectual properties as the company strives to serve passionate
sports fans while adapting to an evolving media landscape.
On a personal
level, I am excited to support Mitch as Group CEO. For over a decade, I have
witnessed how Mitch and his dedicated team have steered Eclat Media Group to
its current leadership position, and am eager to join them on the next phase of
development."
