Experienced Sales and Marketing Leader, Peter Wolf,
Joins the Executive Management Team

Peter Wolf joins the Executive Management Team at Gateway as the new Director of Sales and Marketing. In this role, Peter will drive growth and profitability through leadership and coordination of the company’s sales, marketing and customer solution management activities including account management and new customer acquisition.

“Great customers, innovative solutions, outstanding customer service, amazing people and culture – these are all attributes of Gateway Ticketing Systems. I couldn’t be prouder to join the company, nor more excited to help contribute to its future,” says Wolf.

Tom Chiarella Promoted and Spearheading New Ideas for the Market

Former Sr. Manager, Product Development, Tom Chiarella, has been promoted to the Executive Management Team at Gateway Ticketing Systems as Director of Product.

Tom joined Gateway in 2014 as a Program Manager and in 2016 became a Team Lead of Software Development. In 2017, Tom was promoted to Sr. Manager, Product Development where he added a third software development team and led the process for streamlining Gateway’s software maintenance and release cycle. Additionally, he worked closely with the customer service team to improve processes and communication standards that better serve their customers.

Jamie Elswick Accepts New Opportunity to Manage Strategic Enterprise Accounts

Industry veteran, Jamie Elswick, has been promoted to the role of Strategic Account Manager where he will support the key relationships with Gateway’s enterprise customers. Jamie was promoted from Business Solutions Architect where he formerly managed new customer acquisition.

As a previous water park owner and Department Director for other parks, Jamie is uniquely positioned to understand the needs and demands of Gateway’s core theme park clients.
