San Francisco, California, United States
With 10 years of experience in the event production industry, I have experience in a little bit of everything from cable wrangling to liaising with our Nations' secret service team. I love helping events run smoothly and putting the client front and center. I enjoy the challenge of live events and thrive on learning from others. Today I manage the global conference rooms at Equinix, which includes over 800 "zoom room" equipped spaces. I also support and manage all of Equinix's global company meetings, all hands, and VIP events. When the whole world went remote, my team and I successfully shifted from in person events to Zoom webinars and meetings overnight. At my previous company, I managed a team of 5 and worked with a variety of organizations such as Zendesk, Apple, Wells Fargo, Google, Salesforce, Microsoft, and coordinated with teams representing VIPs including the Secret Service (Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton), George Clooney, Tony Bennett, Carol King, San Francisco Mayor London Breed, and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. My team was responsible for internet, audio, video, lighting, power, rigging, and the successful execution of high-profile events. Feel free to message me — I’d love to chat.
