Brian Ghidinelli is a founder and product leader with 17+ years building web platforms for motorsports, most notably founding MotorsportReg.com and guiding its growth through acquisition by Hagerty. He combines hands-on product strategy and UX experience from early agency work with operational leadership overseeing teams that support 1,600+ clubs and 10,000 events a year. A mechanical engineer by training, Brian pairs technical fluency with deep domain knowledge as a national racing champion and two-time winner of the 25 Hours of Thunderhill. He serves on the boards of Thunderhill Raceway Park and San Francisco Region SCCA, blending community stewardship with track-side perspective. Brian’s career is marked by repeated exits and acquisitions (VFIVE → IconMedialab, MotorsportReg → Hagerty) and an appetite for defying conventional wisdom—literally practiced as a child learning to curl his tongue. Based in San Rafael with dual US–Italian citizenship, he still races, builds products, and helps venue operators modernize event operations.
