I believe Eventbrite is Australia’s most powerful end-to-end event solution, and I’m excited to help more event creators discover ways the platform can transform their events.”

Also joining the team is Rohan Lawton, who brings close to 20 years’ experience creating some of Australia’s most-loved sporting and endurance events, having held various roles with Tennis Australia, Cricket Australia, Active Network and IMG.
