The Miami Grand Prix appoints 28-year-old Katharina Nowak as President, the youngest to lead a championship event. Managing director Tom Garfinkel confirms the move for South Florida Motorsports.
Nowak succeeds Tyler Epp, President since 2022, who departs for another motorsport role. Garfinkel cites her capability to elevate commercial delivery and overall event standards.
Katharina Nowak, 28, becomes the youngest-ever Miami Grand Prix President, succeeding Tyler Epp.
Nowak has worked on the project since 2019 at the Miami International Autodrome, following roles with the Miami Dolphins and Hard Rock Stadium organizations.
As President, she will oversee promoter operations, stakeholder management with Formula 1, and partnerships. The role demands alignment with F1’s venue, safety, and hospitality specifications.
Previously as Vice President of Business Operations, Nowak led the Formula 1 relationship and negotiated key partnerships. Those deals underpin revenue growth and sponsor activation on event week.
Nowak led Formula 1 relations and major commercial partnerships for Miami since 2019.
Nowak thanks leadership for their backing and emphasizes a fan-first approach. She targets an event that balances quality racing, operational reliability, and strong off-track experiences.
Miami remains a leading United States round on the Formula 1 calendar, with demand sustained across general admission, hospitality, and corporate suites.
Leadership changes do not alter sporting regulations, yet promoter execution influences team preparation. Track evolution, logistics, and session punctuality all shape competitive windows across a weekend.
Operational priorities likely include transport flows, paddock efficiency, and hospitality upgrades. These areas mirror wider industry trends focused on premium experience and resilient infrastructure.
Garfinkel hails Nowak as one of the most talented young executives he has worked with.
The appointment also advances leadership diversity in motorsport. It broadens pathways for young executives to take accountability for complex, high-stakes live events.
Continuity remains central. Miami seeks to build on foundations laid since 2022, maintaining momentum while refining fan engagement and partner integration under Nowak’s direction.
