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.

“Nick has done an incredible job curating a diverse calendar of programming that really caters to Long Island,” said Brett Yormark, CEO of BSE Global. “I am confident he will excel in his new role at the venue, while also taking full advantage of the benefits afforded to Nassau Coliseum by a great partnership with Barclays Center.”

Vaerewyck will work alongside GM Joe Zino, who has also been with Nassau Coliseum since it reopened its doors in 2017, and currently leads all venue operations.

As previously announced, Yormark will transition out of his role as CEO of BSE Global. Maureen Hanlon, President of Onexim Sports and Entertainment Holding USA, Inc. will continue to manage the Coliseum on behalf of ownership, as she has done since the venue opened.
