ICC Sydney’s former general manager, Adam Mather-Brown, will take over the top job as CEO, while the venue’s director of business development, Beverley Parker, will become deputy CEO.
Mather-Brown has been with the convention centre as its GM since its pre-opening period and has spent two decades with ICC Sydney’s venue management company ASM Global.
Prior to joining ICC Sydney in 2014, he was general manager of Qatar National Convention Centre. He has also held leadership positions at Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre, Cape Town International Convention Centre and the International Convention Centre Durban.
“Adam’s experience is exceptional, making him the ideal person to lead ICC Sydney into its second decade of operation, upholding ASM Global’s bold aspiration for ICC Sydney to be one of the world’s best performing convention, exhibition and entertainment centres,” said ASM Global’s APAC chair and chief executive, Harvey Lister AM.
New deputy CEO, Parker has also been with ICC Sydney since its pre-opening period. Her previous experience includes leadership roles in sales and marketing for the Four Seasons Sydney and Dockside Group.
Alongside her new role, Parker will continue as the director of business development and ASM Global’s head of marketing for APAC.
“Beverley’s significant contribution to the commercial success of ICC Sydney over the last decade puts her in good stead for her role as deputy chief executive officer and will be of great benefit to the ongoing development and success of the venue,” said Lister.
