A departure from the (unsettled) Nassau Coliseum: the programming chief

It was little more than a year ago, 9/11/19, when Pollstar reported Nick Vaerewyck Promoted At NYCB Live, Home Of The Nassau Memorial Coliseum:

In the latest move among the family of BSE Global venues, Nick Vaerewyck has been named SVP of Programming and Business Operations at NYCB LIVE, home of the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum, the venue announced Sept. 10. In this role, Vaerewyck will oversee programming, marketing, sales, and communications for the Long Island, New York venue.

Vaerewyck previously served as VP of Programming ahead of Nassau Coliseum’s reopening in 2017. Prior to that, as Senior Director of Programming, he managed the venue’s programming calendar, including concerts, sports events, family shows, and Exhibition Hall bookings. Before joining Nassau Coliseum, Vaerewyck spent a decade at Talking Stick Resort Arena in Phoenix, Ariz., where he managed more than 130 sports, concert, and family events annually.

Well, things change, especially since BSE Global, soon purchased by Joe Tsai, left the Nassau Coliseum operating company to Mikhail Prokhorov's Onexim, which has shuttered the arena in the wake of the coronavirus and the threat from the Belmont arena, leaving the operating company to its creditors, expected to propose a new plan.

So working there might not be a good long-term bet, especially since a new operating company may be hired.

As Pollstar reported 9/22/20, OVG Announces Five New Hires For Climate Pledge Arena:

Five new executives have joined the Climate Pledge Arena team in Seattle, Oak View Group announced on Sept. 22.

...Nick Vaerewyck is vice president of programming, coming from Brooklyn Sports & Entertainment at Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in New York. There he was senior Vice president of programming and business operations and oversaw the building’s reopening after a $180 million renovation. 

Actually, it was Onexim Sports & Entertainment, by then.
