AEG PRESENTS is expanding its touring operations under the leadership of industry vet GARY GERSH. GERSH, who has been promoted to Pres. AEG PRESENTS GLOBAL TOURING AND TALENT, will oversee all aspects of AEG Presents’ worldwide touring operations and talent relations.
The company also announced that veteran industry exec RICH SCHAEFER will be joining the new Global Touring division as SVP/Global Touring and RICH HOLTZMAN would be joining as SVP/Artist Development and Marketing.
“Global Touring has always been at the core of AEG PRESENTS and with the increase in the number of artists who have developed global fan bases, it was clear we needed to further develop this critical division,” said Chairman/CEO JAY MARCIANO. “GARY’s extensive background as an accomplished label president, artist manager and touring executive made him the obvious choice to spearhead the expansion of our touring division. His plan to centralize tour operations to more closely align with our growing international network of touring producers will further establish AEG as a leader in global touring.”
In addition to SCHAEFER and HOLTZMAN, rounding out the senior management team for the new Global Touring division are long-time AEG PRESENTS EVP LARRY VALLON, SVP DEBRA RATHWELL, SVP ALI HARNELL, SVP BOBBY REYNOLDS and VP/GM Global Touring CODY LAUZIER.
