Events & Field Marketing Manager

About

Events and field marketing leader with 15+ years building programs from scratch and managing complex, high-stakes productions. Built Kickstarter's events program from the ground up, managing $2M+ budgets, 50+ annual events, and brand activations at major conferences like PAX, CES, Comic Con, and Sundance. My background is unusual: I've managed artist studios and produced projects for Lady Gaga's Grammy performance, managed downtown art galleries, and spent a decade scaling event operations at a major tech platform. This range gives me a practical toolkit for everything from white-glove experiences to large-scale conference production. Now bringing that experience to Distyl AI, building the events function from zero as enterprise AI takes shape.

    As Distyl AI's first dedicated events hire, I lead the field marketing and events function. Owning the strategy, execution, and experience design that puts Distyl in the room with the executives and operators shaping the AI-native future. With enterprise AI still in its early days, I'm building the playbook in real time as the category takes shape.
