JARRED DIAMOND

Executive Vice President, General Manager, Kaseya Center

The 2020-21 season will mark Jarred Diamond’s 21st year with The HEAT Group, his seventh season as Executive Vice President, and his third as Executive Vice President and General Manager of Kaseya Center. In his current role, Diamond oversees HEAT Group Enterprises—the programming and marketing arm of Kaseya Center responsible for booking first-rate concerts and family shows — as well as running the day-to-day operations and ensuring the facility retains its status as Florida’s premier venue.

Diamond’s rise throughout the organization epitomizes the result of dedication and hard work. He first joined The HEAT Group in 1999 as a Guest Information Agent before his promotion to Event Staffing Manager in 2000. Then in 2001, he took the role of Event Coordinator where he was responsible for coordinating HEAT basketball games, Center concerts, and family shows. Diamond served in that capacity for three seasons before being then promoted to Director of Event Services, and in 2006, to Vice President/Assistant General Manager.

In 2014, Diamond was promoted to Executive Vice President of HEAT Group Enterprises. Due to Diamond’s leadership, Kaseya Center has earned its reputation as South Florida’s premier sports and entertainment venue. The Center has maintained its ranking as the #1 arena in Florida for the past four years (and the seventh time during the past eight years), the #11 spot in the United States and 22nd in the world for ticket sales according to Pollstar’s 2018 year-end rankings of the world’s top arenas.

Diamond has attracted megastars to Kaseya Center including Lady Gaga, Bruno Mars, Paul McCartney, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Carlos Vives, Radiohead, Ariana Grande, John Legend, Ed Sheeran, Depeche Mode, Enrique Iglesias, Pitbull, Mumford & Sons, Marc Anthony, Jay-Z, Katy Perry, J Balvin, Hall and Oates, Chris Brown, Ricardo Arjona and Andrea Bocelli, among others.
