Neil, from Northumberland, has been recruited to the position by Sodexo Prestige Venues & Events, which works in partnership with NUFC to provide match day catering, hospitality and event management at the Newcastle United FC ground.
She has been in the industry for almost 20 years, joining Sodexo from Carlsberg UK, where she was sales development manager.
A graduate of Northumbria University, she also held marketing positions at North East-based hospitality group Vimac Leisure Ltd and Federation Brewery, Gateshead.
In her new position she will promote the stadium to corporate clients and event organisers for everything from small meetings and large conferences to banqueting dinners and weddings.
Neil said: “Like Carlsberg, Sodexo is a global employer and the opportunities for innovation and sharing best practice really attracted me to the role.”
