Speaker Profile

Amy Latimer was part of TD Garden’s inaugural executive team in 1995, and through successive leadership roles she was promoted to president of the venue in 2012.  

As an early adopter of database marketing, Latimer founded the e-business departments for both TD Garden and the Boston Bruins. Throughout her tenure, she has served in various sales, marketing and ticketing roles that have continued to place TD Garden at the forefront of the industry. Under the leadership of Charlie Jacobs, CEO of Delaware North’s Boston Holdings, Latimer helped guide the arena through a $70 million, floor-to-ceiling renovation in 2015.

Under Latimer’s leadership, TD Garden has just completed its latest transformation phase.  In the 2019-20 season, the arena debuted the more than $100 million, 50,000-square-foot expansion of the arena that added new fan amenities, fresh food and beverage concepts and an all new premium arena experience called Boston Garden Society. The joint venture partnership between Delaware North and Boston Properties, The Hub on Causeway, was also officially opened this season. The 1.5-million-square-foot site of the original Boston Garden that broke ground in January 2016 is now home to TD Garden’s new grand entrance, Banners Restaurant, Big Night Live, a smaller scale live entertainment venue, ArcLight Movie Theaters and Star Market, the city’s largest grocery store, among other amenities for visitors and TD Garden fans.

Thanks to her extensive experience and knowledge in the sports and arena industry, Latimer continues to champion TD Garden as a best-in-class innovator, overseeing the areas of premium service, fan experience and overall revenue generation.
