From NY Comic-Con to Fanatics Fest: The Fan-First Formula That Works with Fanatics Events Operations Director Rich Askintowicz Jr.
Q: How did your path into operations start and evolve?
I started on the exhibitor side, moved into sales, and gradually shifted into operations where I could influence the whole flow. The key was learning from mentors, shadowing seasoned ops teams, and consistently asking questions to understand every moving part—from venues and contractors to security and logistics.

Q: What big levers did you pull to double revenue since pre-COVID?
The company pivoted to a content-rich multi-segment model, broadened its portfolio, cautious disposals of non-core assets, and expanded geographically with a focus on the Middle East and new markets like Vietnam, all while maintaining a philosophy that margins can be lower if the audience is larger and more engaged.
