Spectra by Comcast Spectacor has named Peter Sullivan as the company’s new General Manager at the Singapore Sports Hub, as well as Managing Director of Global Spectrum Asia, Spectra’s business entity in Asia.

Sullivan spent the past 12 years with Spectra as General Manager of the 63,000-seat University of Phoenix Stadium in the USA, home of the NFL’s Arizona Cardinals where he was responsible for oversight of all aspects of the facility’s operation and the development of the events calendar.

In his new role in Singapore, Sullivan will be responsible for supervision and oversight of the event experience at the Singapore Sports Hub.

Commenting on Sullivan’s appointment, Michael Ahearn, Regional Vice President, Spectra Venue Management and Food Services & Hospitality, stated “as we seek to achieve new levels of operational success, we will rely heavily on Peter’s live-event management experience to enhance the customer experience at the Singapore Sports Hub.

“Peter brings tremendous leadership and guidance to a great team at the Sports Hub. We are confident he will help SHPL further improve the overall event experience and the success of this project.”

Spectra provides both Venue Management and Ticketing & Fan Engagement to the Singapore Sports Hub.

Before joining Spectra (then Global Spectrum) in 2004, Sullivan was President of the Lansing Entertainment and Public Facilities Authority in the US state of Minnesota.

He also spent 11 years with SMG, holding General Manager and executive positions at stadium, arena, and convention facilities in the United States and Europe.

Global Spectrum Pico is one of four equity partners in the Sports Hub consortium, which had won the contract from the Singapore Government in 2007 to finance, build and operate the precinct over a 25-year period, with the public-private-partnership project touted as the largest in the world. The other partners are InfraRed Capital Partners, Dragages Singapore, and DTZ Facilities & Engineering (S) Limited.
