LONDON (CelebrityAccess) – International venue operator ASM Global has appointed Andy O’Sullivan as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Olympia London, starting January 11.
Before being named the new CEO, O’Sullivan served as Vice President (VP) for IMG’s European Stadium and Arena business. O’Sullivan has previously worked on the opening of Wembley Stadium, delivering $1 billion in sales through Club Wembley. His most recent role was venue director of Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, where he oversaw the delivery of the venue’s guest experience and Tottenham Hotspur F.C’s move from its former stadium, White Hart Lane.
Best known for hosting trade and consumer exhibitions, Olympia London has also recently hosted sporting and music events, with ASM Global appointed to run operations at the venue in March 2022. Olympia’s 7,000-capacity West Hall has hosted numerous concerts by acts including Pink Floyd, The Cure, Dua Lipa, and Primal Scream, among others.
ASM Global Europe president Chris Bray said, “Andy comes armed with exceptional experience, knowledge of the industry, and a proven track record for commercial success.

O’Sullivan said, “I’m incredibly excited to be joining such a transformational project at such a critical time, one that’s taking shape right here in London. It will be an incredible new landmark destination for the city that will help reshape how we see and interact with conferencing, exhibitions, and the creative arts industry.”
