AEG names Brent Fedrizzi president of North American regional offices

DENVER (CelebrityAccess) — AEG Presents announced that Brent Fedrizzi, co-president and COO of AEG Presents’ Rockies and Pacific Northwest regions, has been elevated to the role of president of the North American regional offices.

Fedrizzi, who will continue to be based in Denver, will assume oversight of the company’s fleet of 100 locations, including 50 owned and operated clubs and theaters, as well as talent acquisition and promotion functions at the company’s 12 regional offices.

In his new role, he will report to AEG Presents President and CEO Jay Marciano and join the company’s Executive Committee.

“I’ve known Brent for nearly 30 years and worked with him for nearly as long, so it’s especially gratifying to make this announcement,” commented Marciano. “He has a vision, a drive and an insight into our business that has come from his years promoting events in every type of venue in the western United States. As Co-President of our Rocky Mountain Region, his feel for the business is a key reason why AEG Presents is the dominant promoter in the market and the Denver office is one of the top performers. He is simply the right person for the job.”

“When Jay and I first talked about this opportunity, I jumped at the chance to work more closely with him, the regional team and the company as a whole. I’m excited for the challenge ahead and can’t wait to dive in; there has never been a more exciting time in live events. I am grateful for the trust Jay has placed in me to guide the business into the future; being able to do this with the people and company I love is the icing on the cake,” added Fedrizzi.

Fedrizzi began his career in the concert industry in 1991 with Barry Fey in Denver. In 1998, he partnered with Chuck Morris and Don Strasburg to launch Bill Graham Presents/Chuck Morris Presents, laying the groundwork for what would eventually become Live Nation in 2005. In 2009, he joined Morris and Strasburg to move to AEG and launch the company. The Rocky Mountain division oversees a region that will become one of the most competitive music markets in the US

News of Fedrizzi’s promotion follows the announcement that longtime company president Rick Mueller is retiring from his duties at the company.
