AEG-owned ticketing company AXS has appointed Giles Bayliss to the role of business development director.
Bayliss (pictured) brings more than 27 years of experience in the sector and has covered multiple facets of the industry. His ticketing career began in the 1980s with Ticketmaster Systems (formerly Synchro Systems), going on to work on such projects as the Olympics, FIFA World Cup, European Championships, Rugby World Cup and the Cricket World Cup.
“We are delighted to welcome Giles into the AXS family,” said Outbox AXS Europe MDRob Byrne. “The wealth of experience and knowledge that he brings, together with our new innovative technology, means that there are very exciting times ahead as we continue to grow across the European Market.”
Bayliss has been part of the evolution of the modern day box office from managing hard ticketed events from a “shoe box” to the fully functional leap into present day technology.
“After meeting with both Rob Byrne and Bryan Perez I was instantly impressed with the significant growth that the company had achieved in such a relatively short timescale,” he said. “Adding to this the vision and aspirations for the future of the company and the product developments coming up, meant the decision to join the company was an easy one to make.”
