My free weekly newsletter read by 38k event professionals -> insights.Boldpush.com I am obsessed with media, content, and events. I sold two businesses, a tech company and a media business, worked in fast-paced environments, keynoted worldwide, planned iconic virtual events during the pandemic, and wrote reports downloaded 300k times. Longer story: I founded EventMB (exited to Skift in 2019) and Showthemes, exited in 2018, and worked for technology companies and tech events. I have been in senior marketing positions in hypergrowth tech companies. Recently, I founded Boldpush, a management consulting agency for the event industry. In 2023, 8 million LinkedIn users read my content and I became a Top Voice, an invite only program for top content creators on LinkedIn. The government of the United States granted me an EB1 visa as an alien of extraordinary ability for my contribution to the event industry and research on event technology. Many publications have nominated me as the most influential individual in the event industry for several years. 300,000 event professionals downloaded my books.
Boldpush is a vertical agency helping corporate teams and associations with their event strategy. Go-to-market, content, registration and sponsorship strategy. Past clients include: SAS, Swoogo, Kaltura, InEvent, Smartsource, BW Events Tech, IMEX, Bizzabo, Tourisme Montreal, Visit Newport Beach.
I looked after Hopin's go-to-market strategy for the meetings and events industry. I learned a lot about tech, they learned a lot about events.
My first tech role after 15 years in media. We figured out a complex content machine in a few weeks. I loved the team and had a lot of fun.
EventMB (now SkiftMeetings) was the point of reference for the event industry. Bootstrapped and sold in 2019 to Skift. We revolutionized the way to do content in the event industry, influenced trends, and had fun while doing it. Millions of readers and numbers never seen before in our industry.
I thought the market needed WordPress themes specifically made for events. Turns out I was right. 6,000 customers later I sold the business.
