Directing and managing the information technology department of a brand-new sports franchise is no easy task, but George Guevara, director of IT for the Vegas Golden Knights, did so seamlessly. Guevara built the VGK tech department from scratch in 2015, implementing cutting edge technology to support operations and playing an integral role in the growth and success of the organization.
Today, Guevara and his team continue to support the Golden Knights’ ambitious goal of bringing a Stanley Cup championship to Las Vegas by enabling ticketing, team store sales, on-site activations at T-Mobile Arena and more. Those close to Guevara and the organization describe his commitment to success and humility.
Recently, Guevara has overseen the implementation of the fiber network at T-Mobile Arena and City National Arena, the official practice facility of the Golden Knights. He has also assisted in the paperless ticketing system for customers and the setup of The Arsenal team store. An additional large-scale project that Guevara is actively assisting is setting up the new state-of-the-art training facility in Henderson, set to open in July.
