Kim Bedier has been named senior vice-president and general manager of ocV!BE, an under-construction mixed-use community and live entertainment district in Anaheim.
The district will surround Honda Center, home of the NHL’s Anaheim Ducks, and will feature a range of entertainment facilities including a new 6,000-capacity venue. It is scheduled to open in 2024 and will serve as a host venue during the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles.
Bedier (pictured) joins ocV!BE from the City of Tacoma, Washington, where she served as director of venues and events for the Tacoma Dome, Greater Tacoma Convention Center and Cheney Stadium, among others.
Marc Badain has resigned as president of the Las Vegas Raiders NFL American football team, with Dan Ventrelle to assume the role on an interim basis.
Raiders president Mark Davis confirmed in a statement that he had accepted Badain’s resignation. He will be replaced on an interim basis by Ventrelle, who has been with the Raiders for 17 years and currently serves as executive vice-president and general counsel.
Badain first joined the Raiders as a summer intern when the team was still based in Los Angeles and played a key role in the Raiders’ relocation from Oakland to Las Vegas last year. The team played its first game at the 65,000-seat Allegiant Stadium last September and Davis said that Badain’s efforts in helping to build the stadium will “never be forgotten”.
