Prior to that post, she served as CFO of Youbet.com, an online wagering company, from 2009 until the company’s sale to Churchill Downs in 2010.
Bracey's resume also includes serving as SVP and CFO of National Opinion Research Center and VP Controller at FOX Broadcasting Company. She began her career as a certified public accountant with Ernst & Young.
She currently serves on the board of Diver•Sea•Fy, a non-profit organization that raises money to support underrepresented youth of color in training for Scuba certifications.
Bracey earned a BS in business administration with a major in accounting from Chicago State University. She obtained her Certified Public Accountant designation in the state of Illinois.
