Emmanuelle Malecaze-Doublet is set to leave her role as CEO of PMU [Pari Mutuel Urbain], in September following the ongoing deterioration of her relations with the trotting trade group SETF (commonly known as LeTrot), one of the two bodies that supervises the French horse racing tote operator. She will join Galileo Global Education, a leading supplier of private education services, as new CEO.
Malecaze-Doublet ends her three-year tenure as CEO of PMU, during which she was tasked by French racing stakeholders with revitalising the operator’s racebook portfolio and re-establishing its public presence in France.
The move by Malecaze-Doublet does not come as a major surprise following a prolonged period of hostile briefing by SETF.
