About

After years inside experiential marketing producing work at scale, under pressure, with incredible people — I started paying attention to what wasn’t working. The friction. The noise. The way creativity gets buried under process. OOO is how we fix an outdated system. It's for the next era of experiential & event marketing. Not just a tool but a system, a rhythm, a place where experiential work can move faster and feel better at the same time. Where teams stay lean, ideas stay sharp, and the people doing the work actually feel supported. It’s always evolving. New things are always being added. The community shapes the tools as much as the tools shape the work. If you’re curious about where experiential work is headed and want a quieter, more intentional way to build — you’ve found your place. → liveoutofoffice.com

Experience

  • Founder & CEO at Out Of Office
    Aug 2021 - Present · 4 yrs 11 mos

    Out Of Office exists because the way experiential work gets made is still way more complicated than it should be. Teams spend weeks getting to a direction. Ideas live in decks. Resourcing is fragmented. And by the time something is ready to move, too much time and money has already been burned. We’re building a system that changes that. Out Of Office gives brands and agencies a faster way to go from idea to execution using real-time data, structured workflows, and a curated network of operators. It’s not about replacing what already exists, it’s about removing the friction at the beginning so better work can happen downstream. Most teams don’t realize how much time they’re losing until they see a different way to work. That’s what we’re building.
