Colonnade's Robertson Handing Over President & CEO Title

Robbie Robertson, who helped create the basketball seating arrangement for the Final Four that put the court in the middle of a football field, has stepped aside from his role as President & CEO of Colonnade Group to become Chair. His wife, Lori Robertson, is the new President & CEO of the Birmingham-based event production company. Robbie founded Colonnade in '91, and the SEC was his first client. The business grew to include the CFP, NCAA and the Big 12 among its clients, with Colonnade running hospitality sales and fan fests for them. Colonnade also represents 14 universities in premium seating sales for club seats and suites in their football and basketball venues.
