Vegas Mastermind Emily Prazer earns huge promotion

Graduating from The University of Birmingham, Prazer became sales manager at IMG from 2011 to 2015, before moving onto News UK as a sports solutions and partnerships manager.

However, she joined F1 in 2017 and dealt with grand prix organisers across the world as senior manager, promoter and business relations, before undertaking the role of head of commercial development, race promotion, in 2019.

Prazer has also been promoted to F1’s chief commercial officer, as she continues her rapid rise through the sport's ranks.

Her recent appointment will help further the growth of F1 in the US whilst engaging with the local community, starting with Las Vegas’ Grand Prix Plaza facility.

The project will get underway later in 2025, and will allow F1 to hold year-round activities that generate revenue from the site throughout the year.
