TEG appoints new chairman and CEO

TEG has announced a leadership change, naming long-time CEO Geoff Jones as chairman and appointing Brad Banducci as the company's new chief executive officer.

Jones transitions to the chairman role after a 14-year tenure as CEO, during which he spearheaded TEG’s transformation from a ticketing operation into a global powerhouse in live entertainment, ticketing, digital, and data. Under his leadership, Ticketek evolved into TEG, now an integrated network of more than 30 businesses worldwide.

Taking the reins as CEO, Banducci brings over 30 years of leadership experience in the retail and consumer sectors, most recently serving as CEO of Woolworths Group. His appointment signals a new chapter for TEG as it continues expanding its footprint in entertainment, audience engagement, and data-driven marketing.

Jones' legacy includes architecting TEG’s integrated model and significantly growing its value and global presence. As chairman, he will oversee the company’s strategic direction while Banducci leads day-to-day operations, positioning TEG for its next stage of innovation and growth.

Banducci's appointment comes off the back of several other leadership changes.

Earlier this month the company announced the appointment of Simon Cahill, head of commercial, and Jono Whyman, general manager of SXSW Sydney, as co-managing directors for SXSW Sydney.

While, Seven's former marketing director Larissa Ozard will take on the role of general manager – marketing, live entertainment.
