Trevor McCartney to lead upcoming Oman venue

TREVOR McCartney will move from his position as director of business development at Qatar National Convention Centre to lead Oman Convention & Exhibition Centre as general manager come early 2014.

The venue, which is managed by AEG Ogden, is due for completion in December 2016.

Geoff Donaghy, director of convention centres for AEG Ogden, said there was considerable international interest in the position but the internal promotion of McCartney was an endorsement of the strength and talent within the AEG Ogden network.

McCartney was previously chief executive of Borneo Convention Centre Kuching, Malaysia for three years and director of international sales and operations at the Pattaya Exhibition and Convention Hall, Thailand for three years. He was also a key member of pre-opening teams at three major UK conference centres.

“Trevor is an outstanding and experienced convention centre executive who is well respected throughout the industry globally,” said Donaghy.
