FORTIN TAKES THE REINS AT NESTE LIVE!

Andrew Fortin has been named president of talent buyer and promoter Neste Live!, where he will oversee all aspects of operations for the fairs and festivals specialists.

As part of the move, Neste Live! founder and former president Gil Cunningham is transitioning to the role of chairman of the company he founded in 1995.

A Live Nation-owned company, Neste Live! was established as a corporate sponsorship and event marketing agency, but added talent buying and event production elements to their portfolio of services, as well as marketing consulting and execution services.

Fortin was previously VP of fairs and festivals. Before joining Neste Live!, he spent time at Madison House, AT&T Performing Arts Center in Dallas and at Live Nation, which acquired the company in 2019.

As Chairman of Neste Live!, Cunningham will serve as an advisor to Fortin, supporting the development and management of relationships with clients, agents, managers and other key partners.

Both men will continue to send all HITS correspondence to their digital or actual trash bins.
