His prior experience also includes senior roles at NVS Music Group, Broadwick Live and Mainstage Travel.
“I think it is a really exciting time to be working with Festicket and Event Genius,” said Walsh. “Having a complete 360-degree product set is something I think is going to be a game-changer in the ticketing space and I really want to be part of helping the team fulfill that potential.”
“The role is a natural fit for my skill set and experience,” Walsh added. “Having previously worked on the promoter side of the industry, I feel I have a unique outlook that I can bring to the business. When I learned about the acquisition I thought it was a bold move. There is certainly room for disruption in the ticketing sector at the moment, and the product we have here is ready to lead that.”
