AEG Presents Great Lakes Region’s Jason Rogalewski and Justin Miller to Assume Leadership of Promowest Team in Expanded Roles

Scott Stienecker, Founder and CEO of Promowest Productions and Regional Vice President of AEG Presents, announced today that after 46 years in the concert and live entertainment business, he will be retiring at the end of 2024. Stienecker – who began his career while still in high school – has produced over 15,000 concerts and owned and operated 14 venues (five of which he built from the ground up) in Columbus, Pittsburgh, and the Cincinnati area and has promoted stadium shows, arena shows, theater shows, club shows, and music festivals across the region.

“I feel like I have attained all the goals I set out for myself in the concert business, and I’m turning 65 in November, so this feels like the time,” said Stienecker, who will stay on with AEG Presents as a consultant through 2025. Stienecker will hand over the reins of the Promowest Region to Jason Rogalewski and Justin Miller of AEG Presents’ Detroit-based Great Lakes regional office. “With Jason and Justin working closely with the great Promowest team already in place, I know the entire region will be in fine hands.”

Commented Shawn Trell, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of AEG Presents: “Scott’s a good friend and a great promoter, and over the course of five decades he has brought phenomenal talent to the state of Ohio and the surrounding regions. He is responsible for helping to create wonderful experiences for literally millions of concertgoers in the area, and he will be missed. I’m thrilled that Jason is stepping into Scott’s sizeable shoes; he’s a talented executive who will continue to build on the tremendous impact made by Scott and the entire Promowest team. But in the meantime, cheers to Scott on a remarkable career and legacy.”

Rogalewski, Senior Vice President for AEG Presents Great Lakes, is a 25-year industry veteran and executive who has spent the past 17 years at AEG Presents overseeing the company’s business units in the Detroit and Cleveland markets. He will continue to report to Brent Fedrizzi, President - AEG Presents North American Regional Offices. Miller also brings 25 years of experience to the expanded duties: he spent the bulk of his career in the role of general manager, and currently oversees operations in the region. He will continue to report to Rogalewski.

Added Rogalewski: “I’ve known Scott and his team for years and have always admired what he’s built in these three major markets over the last 40 years. It’s an honor to be given the opportunity to carry on the Promowest legacy and to work with his team as we continue AEG Present’s growth in the Midwest.”
