CHARLOTTE, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--QuintEvents, the industry-leading provider of official ticket, hospitality and travel experiences to many of the world's most prominent sports and entertainment events, is pleased to announce the appointment of Nickolas Cardinale as Chief Operating Officer.

During his time with Barrett-Jackson, Cardinale oversaw all operational aspects of the World's Greatest Collector Car Auctions in many key areas and was instrumental in helping the company set record numbers in ancillary revenue growth in areas such as gate attendance, sponsorship and licensing, corporate hospitality, merchandise and even food and beverage sales. His live event expertise led Barrett-Jackson to earn the recognition of USA Today 10Best Readers' Choice Travel Award as one of the best attractions for car lovers. Prior to joining Barrett-Jackson, Cardinale was named the youngest General Manager of Harlem Globetrotters International Inc., one of the most recognizable sports and entertainment franchises in the world. During his ten-year tenure, his direction and leadership led the franchise to record its ten most financially successful years in history, with nine of those years attaining double digit annual percentage growth.
"I am extremely proud to be joining the Quint team in this exciting new role," said Cardinale. "Having worked closely with Quint in my previous position, I know what a talented team I'm joining and how promising the future of this organization is, and I'm thrilled to now be a part of it."
Cardinale earned a bachelor's degree in economics from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and an MBA from Arizona State University's W.P. Carey School of Business with an emphasis in international business. Along with some of the nation's top executives in the sports and entertainment industry, Cardinale sits on the Advisory Board of San Francisco Venture Community Sports and served as an executive board member for Patrick Peterson's Foundation for Success.
