Leadership Change

EMEA

Olympia Events, managed by Legends Global, appointed Karen Cmela as Food & Beverage Director to lead in-house F&B across Olympia London's halls, new ICC and The Addison.

Leadership read: A change at the top rarely stays at the top. Olympia Events's move reshapes the layer beneath it in the sector as a new leader sets priorities and the team re-forms. Watch the first two or three appointments that follow; they signal direction more reliably than any statement.
