Recognized Among 50 Industry Trailblazers
Kansas City, MO (Sept. 10, 2019) - General manager and senior vice president of T-Mobile Center/AEG Kansas City was named to VenuesNow’s 2019 All-Star List, a compilation honoring 50 of the most accomplished, innovative and influential leaders in the entertainment and sports facilities industry.
The 50 All-Stars were selected by the VenuesNow editorial team, which researched candidates, vigorously debated their merits, and consulted key members of the industry for feedback. Factors included documented excellence, innovation, financial success, commitment to diversity, leadership in their field, and more.
"These are exciting times for the venues industry, which is experiencing profound innovation, creativity, and positive disruption," said Ray Waddell, president, Media & Conferences, for Oak View Group, parent company for VenuesNow. "Attempting to narrow down the many high achievers and innovators in an industry populated by bold, visionary leaders and paradigm-changing facilities was a very challenging endeavor. We believe that the editorial team at VenuesNow did indeed build a list that accurately reflects the evolution and leadership of this dynamic sector. We salute the executives, venues and other stakeholders making up the first group of VenuesNow All-Stars, along with the facilities industry at large, for charting the course for the venue industry."
