partnership and significant role in strengthening our financial
foundation and marketplace transformation,” said Julia Hartz,
Co-Founder, Chief Executive Officer, and Executive Chair. “He's
built an exceptional finance and operations team that will help us
achieve our vision of becoming the go-to marketplace for live
experiences. His contributions have set us up for future success,
and I wish him the very best in his next endeavor.”
“I am grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Julia
and the entire team to build Eventbrite into a global leader in the
live events space,” said Lanny Baker, Chief Operating Officer. “I’m
confident in the future that lies ahead for Eventbrite as the team
takes the successes we've achieved together and builds on them to
transform the business into a live experiences marketplace.”
In conjunction with today’s announcement, the company also
reaffirmed its financial outlook for the fourth quarter and full
year of 2024, which was previously announced on November 7,
