"Through his leadership, Chris has ensured that the entire NAB Show portfolio is constantly innovating to deliver a superior experience. During his tenure, the Show has remained among the ten largest shows in North America and the undisputed top global brand for the media space. I am personally grateful to Chris for his contributions to the success of our association and thank him for his many years of service"[/p]NAB is seeking a seasoned business and trade show strategist to serve as the chief ambassador for NAB Show to outside customers and partners, lead business expansion and extension efforts and oversee the overall financial and operational strength of all business lines.
In addition to ensuring that the NAB Show portfolio remains vital, growing and strong, the EVP and managing director will serve a critical role on NAB’s executive leadership team, working closely with NAB’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer to determine short and long-term financial plans, understanding the significant importance of NAB Show to NAB’s financial health.
