Richmond, Greater London, UK, 14 July 2026 – RX and ReedPop today announced the appointment of Marie Browne as Senior Vice President, Head of ReedPop.
For Browne, it's a return to the business she helped build. As part of the founding team behind New York Comic Con, she played a key role in creating what would become one of the world's biggest fan events before helping lead the acquisition of Emerald City Comic Con, further expanding ReedPop’s global footprint.
Since joining RX nearly 25 years ago, Browne has held a number of senior leadership roles spanning strategy, portfolio growth and business development. Most recently, as Senior Vice President, she helped shape RX US's growth strategy by expanding the Functional Fabric Fair portfolio, supporting the evolution of PGA into a global brand and leading the development of RX's Conferences business. In her new role, Browne will continue to report to Fernando Fischer, President of Americas, RX.
Beyond her leadership within RX, Browne is widely recognised across the exhibitions and events industry. She is a past chair of both the Center for Exhibition Industry Research (CEIR) and the International Association of Exhibitions and Events (IAEE) and currently serves on the Board of Directors of the Society of Independent Show Organizers (SISO).
As Senior Vice President, Head of ReedPop, Browne will lead ReedPop's US business, working with teams across its portfolio to grow flagship events, deepen relationships with creators, partners and exhibitors, and continue delivering unforgettable experiences for fans.
"I've had the privilege of being part of ReedPop's story in its early days. It's exciting to step into this role at a time when ReedPop has become a global leader of pop culture around the world. What has always stood out to me is the passion of the team and the incredible communities they serve. I'm excited to work with the team to build on that and create even more unforgettable experiences together."
Fernando Fischer, President of Americas, RX, said:"I've had the pleasure of working with Marie for several years, and I've seen first-hand her ability to grow businesses while bringing people with her. Just as importantly, she already understands what makes ReedPop unique because she helped build it. I look forward to seeing her support the ReedPop team on what I truly believe will be an exciting and rewarding journey for our fans and the incredible talent she will work with.”
