Barambah Wines owner Steve Wilson AM has been appointed interim chairman of Racing Queensland by the State Government.<\/p>\n

Racing Minister Grace Grace said the leading Queensland businessman was appointed via an independent, merit-based selection process.<\/p>\n

\u201cSteve Wilson brings a wealth of business and corporate experience to the role,” Ms Grace said.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor 30 years, he was Chair and CEO of an ASX-listed financial services company which he successfully transformed from stockbroking into funds management, and he has intimate knowledge of corporate governance.<\/p>\n

\u201cMr Wilson has also served as Chair of Brisbane\u2019s South Bank Corporation for 16 years and been a director of Telstra and Tourism Queensland.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis other governance experience includes Chair of the St John\u2019s Cathedral Completion Fund, Deputy Chair of Queensland Rugby Union and founding Director of the Yalari Indigenous Advisory Board and the Brisbane Institute.<\/p>\n

\u201cSteve was also a successful thoroughbred breeding syndicate member and horse owner on his cattle property.\u201d<\/p>\n

Steve is formerly CEO and Chairman of Wilson HTM Investment Group, one of Australia\u2019s leading stockbroking, funds and wealth management firms.<\/p>\n

He has Bachelors of Commerce and Law and was a Supreme Court solicitor.<\/p>\n

He has an honorary doctorate of philosophy and was awarded the AM in 2011 for services to the financial services sector and the community. He also has knowledge of the racing industry as a successful thoroughbred breeding syndicate member.<\/p>\n

Ms Grace said the interim Chair\u2019s immediate task would be to oversee the recruitment of a permanent Racing Queensland CEO.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cLonger term, he will provide industry-wide leadership to develop new commercial opportunities in the industry,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cMr Wilson takes up the role at an exciting time, with the industry entering a new era of expansion and growth.<\/p>\n

\u201cQueensland\u2019s premier racecourse Eagle Farm comes back online in May, promising greater wagering turnover and industry returns.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is now an unprecedented opportunity to generate growth in the Queensland racing industry, and we\u2019re determined to seize this opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
