Summary

Over the past 15 years, I have successfully motivated event producers to showcase their skills and talents in planning and executing top-notch events. My expertise lies in building inspiring goals that encourage event teams to take ownership of a go-to-market (GTM) strategy and turn it into something more than just a successful event. My ultimate objective is to achieve market growth by empowering teams to understand that their success in executing events leads to a strong pipeline, company growth, high employee satisfaction, and a welcoming company culture.
