Arda Ates

As a planning, delivery, and event management specialist who has delivered major events across the globe, Arda has a firm belief in the power of sports. With a portfolio spanning Summer and Winter Olympic Games, Pan American Games, Commonwealth Games and European Championships, he recognizes sport’s ability to transform people to be better – both individually and globally. Whether someone is an athlete, spectator, or part of the team building a venue, they have an opportunity to effect positive change.

Arda embraces this aspect of transformation in a very literal sense. As Vice President Production and Delivery, he leads teams to ensure the high standards required for the world-class venues and environments that BaAM creates – from start to finish. He lives out his appreciation of sports in his free time, too – hiking, biking, skiing, playing volleyball, and sailing whenever he can!
