Dual Leadership For FKP Scorpio’s Touring Department
Inga Esseling and Ben Rodenberg will lead FKP Scorpio’s touing department from January, both in the role of director touring.
Esseling and Rodenberg will drive the portfolio and strategic direction of FKP Scorpio’s successful touring department both internally and externally.
Esseling has been working at FKP Scorpio since 2010. Starting as an assistant promoter, she now coordinates the core team around Managing Director and founder Folkert Koopmans and is responsible for tours by Ed Sheeran, Foo Fighters, Rolling Stones and other well-known acts.
Rodenberg joined the group in 2017 when his concert agency Gastspielreisen became part of the FKP Scorpio family. Rodenberg will retain the management of Gastspielreisen and his roster of acts such as Moka Efti Orchestra, Kat Frankie, Betterov and Bulgarian Cartrader in his new role.
Esseling commented, “I am looking forward to continuing the successful work of the tour department together with Ben and to setting new trends in the future. We are part of a great team that we are both only too happy to be responsible for.” Ben Rodenberg adds: “We would like to thank our managing directors Folkert and Stephan for their successful and cordial cooperation, and of course for the trust they have placed in us for this new role.”
“With Inga and Ben at the helm, we are ideally positioned for the future,” said FKP Scorpio founder and CEO Folkert Koopmans, adding, “Both have often proven that they can provide new impetus and meet the high demands of this industry. I am personally very pleased that many employees have been with us for such a long time and have the opportunity to develop further as a part of our team.”
