Andrew Spencer, an industry veteran and current Chief Commercial Officer (CCO) at Frontier Touring, will soon move to London for a major career change. Spencer has been named Chief Operating Officer (COO) of AEG Presents Europe.

With AEG Presents, a partner of Frontier Touring, he’ll take over the company’s operational coordination across Europe. According to a press release, his focus will be on “strategic alignment and regional growth”.

Spencer will report to Adam Wilkes, the President & CEO of AEG Presents Europe and Asia Pacific.

He said of his new role at AEG Presents, “I’m super excited to join Adam and the AEG Presents team in Europe to help drive expansion across the region. ​The opportunities with our current and future partners are vast. ​I’m proud to have been a part of the broad Frontier team in Australia, and they are well placed for continued success across the live industry.”

Adam Wilkes added, “Spence is a proven leader with a sharp strategic mind and a deep understanding of the live entertainment business.

“We’ve built a strong working relationship over many years, and he has been instrumental in the success of our Australia and New Zealand operations. I’m excited to continue that partnership as we expand our footprint across Europe — there’s no one better suited to help shape our next chapter.”
