The Fayetteville Advertising & Promotion Commission has named Ryan Hauck the CEO of Experience Fayetteville, the marketing organization for the city of Fayetteville. As CEO, Hauck will oversee many of the city’s facilities and events, including the Fayetteville Town Center, the Fayetteville Bikepacking Routes Network and Fayetteville Restaurant Week. “The Commission was deeply impressed by his vision, energy, and professional experience,” Elvis Moya, chairman of the Advertising & Promotion Commission, said in a press release announcing Hauck’s hiring. “We are confident that Ryan’s leadership will elevate Fayetteville’s presence, strengthen our partnerships, and drive continued growth in tourism and economic development.”
Hauck most recently served as executive director of Cody Yellowstone, the official tourism organization for Park County, Wyoming, known as the east gateway to Yellowstone National Park. Prior to taking the job at Cody Yellowstone, he was the director of sales marketing at Western Leisure Inc. of Midvale, Utah, and before that, he held the same position at Visit Casper of Casper, Wyoming. “What drew me to Fayetteville is its extraordinary potential — not just as a premier travel destination, but as an incredible example of how communities can grow thoughtfully, inclusively, and sustainably,” he said in the press release. He also served as plant operations manager at Legacy Measurement Solutions, a manufacturing company in Farmington, New Mexico. There, he managed manufacturing, productivity, sales and employee retention.
Hauck graduated from the University of Wyoming with a bachelor’s degree in business, management, marketing and related support services.
