Mark DeLelys has been promoted to vice president, revenue at the Country Music Hall Of Fame and Museum.

In his new role, DeLelys will have responsibility for all earned income streams and will be charged with developing and implementing strategic initiatives designed to grow revenue, expand e-commerce presence, and identify new lines of business for the institution. He reports to CEO Kyle Young in his new position.

DeLelys holds a bachelor’s degree in business administration from the Rochester Institute of Technology, and came to the museum in 2012 from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in Philadelphia. DeLelys most recently served as senior director of museum sales and retail, where he was responsible for all facets of admissions, tourism sales and merchandising for the museum, Hatch Show Print, and Studio B. In this role, he helped to increase the museum’s online ticket sales and e-commerce revenue.

“Since joining the museum nearly 10 years ago, Mark’s leadership and expertise have been critical to the museum’s growth,” said Young. “We created this role to complement the museum’s unique operating model, which is centered on a diverse, earned revenue base. With Mark, we have an established leader who not only has a strong background in arts and culture, but also the business acumen to consistently deliver innovative ideas that will help the museum grow and expand our platforms for sharing the country music story.”
