SX Global, the official promoter of the FIM World Supercross Championship (WSX), is delighted to confirm the appointment of Tom Burwell to the position of Chief Executive Officer. Andy Edwards will remain with SX Global as a trusted advisor to WSX.
Burwell joins SX Global and the WSX organisation at a critical time, as preparations for the series’ 2024 season continue following its recent calendar announcement, which revealed races in Vancouver, Perth, and Abu Dhabi.
Holding a wealth of experience in the sports space, Burwell joins SX Global from Formula 1, where he served as the Associate Director of Race Promotion before moving to the role of Associate Director of Business Development & Sponsorship.
Before moving into motorsport, Burwell enjoyed an 11-year stint at Ultimate Rugby Sevens – eight of which he served as CEO, and was the Executive Tournament Director of Emirates Dubai 7s.
Given his impressive background, which includes elevating fan experiences, innovating in the global events space, and expanding into new markets – playing an instrumental role in Formula 1’s planned Madrid street race in 2026 – Burwell’s appointment as CEO will only serve to strengthen SX Global’s leadership team.
