Board Of Directors

Lee Brentzell – Chair

Competitive sport and outdoor adventures are integral to Lee and her family’s lives and they have been fortunate to ride their mountain bikes and run in some spectacular locations around the world where they lived and worked for many years.

She has been impressed with the quality and accessibility of trails, races, clubs and development courses in Australia since returning in 2010 and is excited to share her passion for the outdoors with her young daughters who love mountain biking but have not taken up trail running just yet.

When not conquering big mountains, Lee is a business strategist and transformational change leader in the Mining, Oil and Gas industry with twenty years experience in senior executive and project management roles working across all aspects of business from the development and execution of corporate strategies, new business setup, acquisitions and divestments, systems implementations and operational improvements. She loves a challenge but at the same time is a natural, people orientated leader with the ability to deliver large-scale business changes to maximise employee engagement and people performance that result in successful business transformations and desired benefits.

Lee has qualifications in civil engineering, a masters in business administration, new venture leadership, and is an Advance Queensland Digital Community Champion. She Chairs a STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineer, Arts and Mathletics) Sub Committee at her local primary school and is strong advocate to boost female numbers in technical fields of work and sport through positive role modeling and collaboration with industry leaders, local communities and primary schools.

Lachlan Murray – Director

Lachlan started mountain biking around the bush tracks of Bendigo 15 years ago and has been hooked ever since. While the bikes may have been updated, the passion for the sport is as high as it’s ever been.

While the roadie and CX have places in the shed, marathon MTB style racing is where Lachlan’s heart is with him being a regular on the XCM scene.  Lachlan also completed his first 24hour solo race in 2016 and has plans to compete in more.

Away from the trails, Lachlan is a chartered accountant with a commercially focused background and is currently the CFO of Ladbrokes Australia.  He is keen work to accelerate the profile of mountain biking by continuing to promote & develop the sport, from grassroots through to the elite.
