| By Richard Mulligan
Churchill Downs Incorporated (CDI) has promoted Jason Sauer to the role of senior vice-president of corporate development, with the operator suggesting Sauer’s experience in mergers and acquisitions will be of particular importance in his new role.
Sauer previously served as vice-president of corporate development, having moved up from the position of senior director of corporate development in 2019. He joined CDI in 2014.
CDI said that Sauer would work with senior management to develop and execute the company’s growth initiatives and would report directly to chief executive Bill Carstanjen.
