Oak View Group (OVG) has officially named Chris Granger as CEO, elevating the veteran sports and live-entertainment executive after five months in the interim CEO role. The appointment is effective immediately.

Granger replaces former CEO and company founder Tim Leiweke, who was indicted earlier this year on federal bid-rigging charges related to the construction of the Moody Center in Austin. Company officials at OVG agreed to sign a non-prosecution agreement as part of the investigation into Leiweke, who has vowed to fight the charges in Texas federal court.
