Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted August 29, 2019 Journalists Share Posted August 29, 2019 Russell Ferris, currently the director of Weatherbys General Stud Book (Ireland the Great Britain), will take over as Chief Executive Officer of Weatherbys effective Sept. 1. In his three years with Weatherbys, Ferris has made a significant contribution particularly in the stud book arena, specifically with its digital transformation. He previously headed At The Races Ireland and was managing director of Limerick Racecourse. Ferris will remain CEO of Weatherbys Ireland and a member of the International Stud Book Committee. Johnny Weatherby, Weatherbys Chairman, said, “The appointment of Russell is well-deserved recognition of a younger member of the team who has rapidly made a real difference to our business. He is widely respected, gaining significant experience from his previous roles on the racecourse, in media and in the breeding world. As a horseman and Thoroughbred breeder himself, Russell also has hands-on involvement.” Ferris said, “I am delighted to be appointed Chief Executive of Weatherbys and am excited about projects we are planning which will deliver real and lasting value. I am committed to developing an even closer relationship with our customers and industry stakeholders and I look forward to continuing to work with Johnny and the great team at Weatherbys.” The post Ferris Named Weatherbys CEO appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
