On this episode, Naomi is joined by Catherine Beloff and Jayne Greenman. Two senior women on the corporate and governance side of racing, from the legal and HR elements of the industry. This chat covers a bit about the situation in other sports and other industries, and a bit about their respective careers, but instead it became a wide-ranging conversation covering everything from not making the tea in the boardroom, to miscarriage, to menopause, and as a little trigger warning, the conversation into some of this in detail.
Catherine is the Director of Legal, Governance and Business Partners at the British Horseracing Authority. She joined the BHA in 2015 and has been a director since 2016. Catherine has a son, Benjamin, who’s 8, and a daughter, Lara who was born just prior to the pandemic starting, and is now 2 ½.
Jayne is the Director of HR at Arena Racing Company. She joined Northern Racing in 2009, and became a director in 2012. Jayne has been a single parent since 2021, and has two children – a son, Hector, who’s now 10, and a daughter, Indiana, who’s 6.
