WRSTBND

Founded in 2019 by Conway Solomon and Jonathan Foucheaux, WRSTBND is an event technology company specializing in integrated solutions for ticketing, RFID access control, credentialing, attendee management, and cashless payments. Originally developed as an internal software platform for Solomon Group, a New Orleans-based live events production company, WRSTBND was created to simplify and streamline the operational complexities of large-scale events.

Today, the company supports approximately 175 events annually around the world, serving festivals, sporting events, conventions, and other live entertainment experiences. Its all-in-one platform enables event organizers to manage admissions, credentials, transactions, and guest experiences through a single technology ecosystem.

In March 2024, WRSTBND was acquired by AXS, the global ticketing subsidiary of Anschutz Entertainment Group (AEG). The company continues to operate as an independent brand under the leadership of CEO and Co-Founder Conway Solomon, combining the agility of a specialized event technology provider with the global reach and resources of AXS and AEG.

WRSTBND is seeking a dynamic, strategic, and highly collaborative Chief Operating Officer ("COO") to help lead the company through its next stage of growth and scale. Reporting directly to the Board of Directors and serving as a key partner to the CEO, the COO will oversee the company's business operations, including finance, human resources, recruiting, information technology, legal and risk management, project management, and operational infrastructure.

This executive will build the systems, processes, and organizational capabilities necessary to support a rapidly growing event technology platform, while driving cross-functional alignment, operational excellence, and performance accountability.

The successful candidate will be a visible, hands-on leader who combines strategic vision with operational rigor and thrives in fast-paced, execution-oriented environments. Working closely with leaders across the organization, the COO will help professionalize and scale the business while preserving the entrepreneurial mindset, agility, and client-centric culture that have made WRSTBND a trusted partner to many of the world's most recognizable live events.

The COO will also serve as a key liaison to AXS and AEG stakeholders, leveraging the resources and opportunities of a global entertainment leader while maintaining the independence, speed, and innovation that have fueled WRSTBND's success.
