Oak View Group Names Amy Latimer as First Chief Business Officer

Oak View Group (OVG) has appointed Amy Latimer as their first Chief Business Officer. Latimer will oversee the full suite of offerings that OVG employs at its own venues and offers to partners at iconic venues throughout the world, including management, hospitality, security, parking, sustainability consulting, and premium experiences.

“I am thrilled to welcome Amy to the OVG Family,” says Chris Granger, Interim Chief Executive Officer, Oak View Group. “She is a longtime friend of OVG and uniquely shares our values, our entrepreneurial spirit, and our global ambitions. She is an incredibly well-respected leader, and her work spanning venues, teams, hospitality, development, and premium experiences make her perfectly qualified to join our diverse, deeply talented team. Oak View Group continues to grow exponentially on a global basis, and Amy’s partner-first perspective and deep understanding of how to create and deliver world-class venue experiences will provide additional support and innovation to our team, our partners, and the communities in which we operate.”

Latimer is a highly regarded venue executive, most recently acting as the Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer at Delaware North. There, she led the company’s diverse portfolio of over 200 global locations, from iconic sports and entertainment venues to national and state parks to destination resorts and gaming properties. Her career has been defined by a commitment to transformative leadership, including spearheading major renovations and expansions at TD Garden in Boston, where she previously served as president.

“After a tremendous and deeply rewarding 30 years with Delaware North, I am excited for this next chapter of my career,” says Latimer. “OVG’s growth trajectory is beyond compelling, they have an extremely accomplished leadership team, and their vision for the future of our industry is exciting, to say the least. I look forward to partnering with Chris, the leadership team, and the ownership group to support and further accelerate OVG’s relentless focus on partnership, innovation, and community impact.”

Latimer, who will be based in Boston, will join OVG on Oct. 24 and report to Granger.
