Eden park chief executive recognised as global executive of the year
Nick Sautner, Chief Executive of Auckland’s Eden Park has been named Executive of the Year accolade at TheStadiumBusiness Awards presented this week in the United Kingdom.
Sautner was in Manchester to receive the international award after addressing the linked TheStadiumBusiness Summit on his experience leading New Zealand’s largest stadium.
The prestigious achievement acknowledges the industry excellence of stadium executives leading facilities globally and Sautner was competing against a high calibre of individuals from across the world.
Doug McKay, Chairman of the Eden Park Trust Board, is thrilled to celebrate the well-deserved win for Sautner who was one of six contenders in the category for the sports venue leader, pioneer or visionary that has over-delivered in the past 12 months.
McKay stated “this award reflects not only Nick’s relentless attitude towards making the stadium a better place for our community but also the reverence in which Eden Park is held overseas. Nick continues to drive a vision that our Board wholly supports, is constantly proactive in his strategy and thrives from strengthening our revenue base to ensure our business gets ahead. ‘Passion’ is not a big enough word to encapsulate his attitude towards our Park.”
