Brooksee, the endurance event production and service company behind the Las Vegas Marathon, Portland Marathon, Mesa Marathon and REVEL Race Series, has hired Phil Dumontet as its new CEO.
In this new role, Dumontet will guide the development of Brooksee’s portfolio of events and the launch of its new timing technology offering.
Dumontet is the founder of Boulderthon, the Colorado-based running event. He has over a decade of leadership experience building, scaling, and selling high-growth companies in the technology and running industries.
In addition to being named to Forbes 30 Under 30 and the Boulder Valley 40 Under 40, Dumontet is also a contributor to The Washington Post, Entrepreneur Magazine, Business Insider, Fast Company and Inc Magazine. He is also a 17-time marathoner and holds a personal best of 2:42 for the 26.2 mile distance.
In addition to growing Brooksee’s event portfolio, Dumontet will oversee the go-to-market strategy and launch of Brooksee’s new timing technology. This features disposable timing chips with up to 100 checkpoints for marathons for down to the quarter-mile tracking.
A Brooksee release added that the technology enables up to 17 times more timing splits than the industry average… ‘leading to the most accurate participant tracking on the market, plus new AI-driven runner insights, safety features, and course-cutting prevention.’
“I cannot express how thrilled I am to start this next chapter in my career, especially with a company like Brooksee,” said Phil Dumontet, CEO of Brooksee.
“Brooksee is a company that brings tremendous first-hand experience to our industry, as a leader in both endurance event organization and timing technology, and I’m honoured that they’ve selected me to lead the company in their next phase of growth. I already see tremendous growth potential, and I can’t wait to get started.”
Lane Brooks, President of Brooksee, added “We are excited to bring Phil onboard as CEO to lead Brooksee’s growth, and are confident his leadership and proven playbook will strengthen the company and build upon our strong foundation.”
As Dumontet takes on this new leadership role at Brooksee, he has appointed founding team members David Benjes as Race Director and Alexa Squillaro as Event Director of Boulderthon to oversee its growth.
Dumontet will remain an Executive Director with the Boulderthon race series. Boulderthon, which partnered with Brooksee for timing and event services in 2023, will renew its contract for Brooksee’s timing technology for its 2024 race. The event will also transition registration and photography services to Brooksee’s all-in-one race director platform.
Brooksee events host 50,000 participants across nine races nationally across the USA, including three premier marathon series plus six REVEL Races in the portfolio with scenic, downhill courses.
