SAN FRANCISCO (CelebrityAccess) — Ticketing platform AXS announced the appointment of Marc Ruxin as Chief Strategy Officer.
In his new role at AXS, Ruxin will oversee the company’s strategy and corporate development, reporting directly to AXS CEO, Bryan Perez.
Ruxin assumes the corporate strategy and development responsibilities previously held by Blaine Legere, who promoted to President – International at AXS in late 2023.
Before he joined AXS, Ruxin held senior roles in multiple media and tech companies, including Chief Operating Officer and Chief Marketing Officer of the music streaming service Rdio and Chief Innovation Officer at Universal McCann and McCann Erikson, where he helped to lead the company’s digital transition.
“As the live event business continues to experience unprecedented global growth across sports, music, and festivals, AXS, and the AEG family, are perfectly positioned to become the most consumer-friendly and fan-forward business in the world,” said Ruxin. “After a career in and around this industry, the opportunity to help AXS become the dominant global ticketing platform is the culmination of everything I have been working towards. What Bryan and the team have been able to build in a short time is an incredible accomplishment. I’m thrilled to be a part of it!”
“Marc’s innate ability to successfully evaluate promising companies, his entrepreneurial prowess, and experience as an innovator and advisor in tech and live entertainment make Marc a great fit as we push our business forward. AXS is primed for the next growth stage and Marc will be a key player in our success,” Perez added.
