Global Symposium on Racing Speaker: Jack Hudspith
Jack is Managing Director of Betting Services at Ellipse, a sports data and analytics company who turn complex, high resolution data into insights which engage sports fans. He leads the company’s strategy to drive innovation and sustainable growth in betting across its sports verticals. He joined Ellipse in 2024, bringing nearly 15 years of industry experience spanning commercial betting operators and proprietary trading environments.
Before joining Ellipse, Jack held senior roles at several prominent organisations, including the UK Tote, where he focused on modernising pool betting and engaging a new generation of racing fans. His background blends a deep operational understanding with a data-driven approach to trading, particularly in horse racing and tennis.
While his current remit at Ellipse covers the full spectrum of sports betting, Jack’s roots, and ongoing passion, lie in horse racing. He works closely with product and data science teams across the business and plays an ongoing role in the development and commercialisation of RaceiQ, Ellipse’s flagship racing analytics solution, designed to simplify the sport and enhance customer engagement. RaceiQ is the trusted racing insights partner for the UK’s largest commercial broadcaster.
His experience in both traditional and emerging wagering formats gives him a valuable perspective on how racing can evolve within an increasingly competitive and regulated betting ecosystem. At Ellipse, Jack collaborates with operators, suppliers, and rights holders to develop solutions that are technically robust, commercially relevant, and customer-focused.
