Experience

  • Stageline (Permanent Full-time · 23 yrs 3 mos)
    • Account Executive
      Jan 2011 - Present · 15 yrs 6 mos

      In my day to day work, I respond to clients' requests, evaluate their needs and recommend the appropriate stages and equipment for their events. I am your one-stop shop for mobile stages from the first phone call to the last second our stages leave your event. I am in charge of the stage logistics for the Eastern United States and Canada. This means soliciting, negotiating and confirming the certified technician for the set-up and tear-down of the equipment as well as the stage transporter. I must also make sure that I have all of the proper documents in hand before the stage’s departure (customs, insurance, hotel, airplane ticket) to ensure the smooth running of operations during the installation of the Stageline equipment. I am also always available on my cell phone in case of emergencies. In addition, I participate, as needed, in various trade shows in North America and travel frequently to visit customers. Being with Stageline since 2003, I will use my experience to serve you in the best possible way. I am a girl who is passionate about her work since day one. Consistently offering a great customer-service and communication skills, I will always work out a great plan for your needs. Whether it's for a small or large-scale event, Stageline is there for you.
