Based in Dubai, Adolphson is currently the lead English broadcaster and producer for the Dubai Racing Channel and contract publicist for The Saudi Cup, Breeders' Cup, and Belmont Stakes Racing Festival. He has previously held marketing and publicity positions in Dubai with the Zabeel Equestrian Office and the Dubai Racing Club. He led the Publicity Team for four consecutive Dubai World Cups.
In the United States, he worked as communications coordinator at Fair Grounds Race Course and Slots, stakes coordinator at Arlington Park, and held positions in the office of U.S. Congressman Jared Polis, WPP's Penn, Schoen & Berland, and at Santa Anita.
“We are pleased to welcome Michael to Fasig-Tipton as we work to expand our reach and brand awareness in the Middle East,” said Fasig-Tipton President Boyd Browning. “He has a tremendous resume, both in the Middle East and in the United States which makes him well suited to promote our sales in the Gulf region.”
Adolphson added, “Fasig-Tipton has a long history of prominent international graduates, with a particularly strong record in the Middle East. I look forward to expanding the company's footprint in the region to further build on that success.”
