Rob Simmelkjaer, a sports business executive with roots in television, takes the helm after the NYC Marathon.
Simmelkjaer, 50, has been a sports television executive and on-air host. He spent 8 years at ESPN and 7 years at NBC Sports Ventures in business development roles. Most recently, he was chairman of the board of the Connecticut Lottery Corporation.
Hempel steered NYRR through the aftermath of its workplace issues and some of the darkest days of the pandemic, when most of NYRR’s live events were canceled. In a typical year, the organization hosts more than 100 races and other events around the five boroughs of New York City each year. “We are excited for Rob to lead our organization through its next phase of performance, growth, and impact. He brings sports leadership experience, a record of driving strategic transformation, and a commitment to our mission of helping and inspiring people through running,” said George Hirsch, chair of the board of directors of NYRR, in a prepared statement. “I want to thank Kerin Hempel for her tireless dedication and managerial expertise throughout this critical transition period for NYRR.
