TEG appoints Shane Harmon to lead experience arm as Rachael Carroll takes on new remit
Global live entertainment and ticketing business TEG has named Shane Harmon as its new managing director of experiences, replacing Rachael Carroll, who has moved into a new role as managing director TEG Sport.
Harmon, who boasts over 25 years of industry experience, will be operating from TEG's Melbourne office, reporting directly to TEG Group CEO, Geoff Jones.
His most recent role was as Chief Executive at Sky Stadium in Wellington. His resume includes stints with Sydney Swans, Rugby Australia, and local organising committees for Rugby World Cup 2023 and 2011.
"We are delighted to welcome Shane Harmon to the TEG family as our Managing Director, Experiences," said Jones. "Shane's wealth of knowledge from the Entertainment and Sports industries is un-paralleled, and his experience will no doubt play a major role in taking TEG's growth strategy to the next level and promoting some of the World's best experiential Events."
"I also want to take this opportunity to thank Rachael Carroll for her leadership and constant drive to turn TEG Experiences and TEG Sport into some of TEG's biggest success stories. I look forward to continuing working with Rachael to further build TEG Sport as a Global player in the industry," added Jones.
Harmon's career highlights include securing major events for Sky Stadium, including Eminem, Te Matatini and FIFA Women's World Cup 2023. He has held governance roles as a Director of the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup 2023 and is currently a Director of Netball New Zealand. Harmon is the recipient of the Outstanding Contribution to the Industry Award, by the New Zealand Events Association in 2023.
"I've always been impressed with the sheer breadth of TEG's live offerings and I'm very excited to join Geoff and the TEG team to help build the business further," Harmon said. "I am passionate about the live experience. Live events have a unique power to bring us together in ways that nothing else can. In a world where we are so connected to technology, shared experiences with friends, family and community have never been more important."
Harmon will commence his role at TEG in January 2025.
