Legends Global Bolsters MENA Presence with Key Appointments

Legends Global has announced two key appointments to boost its focus on existing and growth opportunities in the Gulf region. Mark Jan Kar will become Senior Vice President, MENA and APAC Strategic Projects, while Santiago Olea will take over as General Manager of Coca-Cola Arena in Dubai.

The move is part of a strategy to leverage the company's global network and talent to enhance business and guest experiences across the Middle East and Asia Pacific region. According to Peter Loxton, Chief Operating Officer for Asia Pacific and Middle East, this appointment will continue the leadership continuity in a strategic region for Legends Global.

Legends Global has a strong presence in the region, with partnerships such as its joint venture with Saudi Arabia's Event Investment Fund (EIF) to support the Kingdom's Vision 2030. This partnership aims to deliver management services exclusively for EIF-developed venues as they are delivered.
