The recognition reflects Perez’s leadership in accelerating AXS’s global business, advancing its ticketing and data capabilities, and strengthening the company’s partnerships with leading teams, venues, promoters and events across the world, including serving as the Official Ticketing Service Provider for the LA28 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Over the past year, AXS has continued to build momentum across key international markets, strengthening its presence across Australia, Asia and North America through new partnerships. Recent milestones include new venue partnerships with Melbourne Park and Sydney’s Hordern Pavilion in Australia. In Singapore, AXS’s official ticketing arm, SISTIC, was appointed as the Official Ticketing Partner for Formula 1’s Singapore Grand Prix.
“This recognition belongs to the entire AXS team and reflects the trust our clients and partners place in us,” said Perez. “We’re fortunate to work with some of the world’s most iconic sports and entertainment organizations and, as we approach our company’s 15th anniversary, we are more focused than ever on helping our partners build stronger relationships with their audiences through technology, data and experiences designed around the fan.”
AXS will celebrate its 15th anniversary in August, marking a decade and a half of growth from its launch in 2011 into a global ticketing leader and live event technology company. Over the past 15 years, the company has grown to serve more than 1,600 brands across sports and entertainment in North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific.
