Previous Winners
In 2016, the title was awarded to Sam Isles, VP Artist Services, Ticketmaster (pictured left) after an online ballot of the global ticketing industry secured her the most votes.
Earlier this year, the 2017 Executive of the Year was named as Libby Penn (pictured right), who at the time was Managing Director, Spektrix, UK. The judges’ comments on Libby’s win were:
“Our winner has been quietly championing innovation and changing the commercial mindset in the arts industry – on both sides of the Atlantic. In an era when arts funding is being cut and more emphasis placed on earned income, Libby Penn has provided much-needed answers. Her company is firmly established in the UK arts sector and she has overseen its expansion into North America with the New York office. Libby has shown that the arts should, can and will embrace technologies like CRM and data analytics – and for that we recognise her contribution to preserving and enhancing the arts.”
