About

Experienced Strategist, and Creative Program and Events Producer with strong history of successful program growth in all customer facing spaces both in Field and Corporate events. Prior to moving to the brand side of our business, I started out on the agency side. As a Strategic Account and Program Executive, I identified prospective clients and worked with their Marketing teams and my internal agency team to develop and execute strategy and programs and successfully drove new customer acquisition and increased sales pipeline with a deep understanding of how to drive traffic and product demand through Events, Tradeshows, Meetings, Global Activations, Permanent installations like Executive Briefing Centers, and creative experiential engagement. As an agency Founder, I had developed award winning experiential spaces and was awarded the Event Marketers award for Best hand held Technology and Best Modular Exhibit at an information technology conference and expo. I have been in roles on both sides of experiential marketing. As a Strategic Sales Executive, I managed up to $12 million in annual revenue. In my role as a Sr Field Marketing Manager for a leading database company, I developed and executed over 20 events and meetings annually for the Commercial, Federal, and the Developers Relations teams. As a Director of Events for top experiential marketing agencies, I developed process and produced multi million dollars events for technology companies which included Cisco, VMware, SAP, Google, and ZScaler.
