What I'm looking for

I seek leadership roles in experiential events or event production where I can lead end-to-end activation, scale teams, manage multimillion-dollar budgets, and deliver brand-driven, high-impact experiences.

I am a strategic experiential events leader with 10+ years of experience translating brand strategy into immersive, story-driven live and digital experiences for corporate, luxury, nonprofit, and private clients.

I founded and scaled a full-service experiential events firm, A. Merisier Events, producing 300+ brand-aligned events and directing end-to-end production for clients including TikTok, managing budgets from $75K to $2.5M and leading cross-functional teams and vendor networks to deliver consistent, premium results.

I combine strong creative strategy, financial oversight, and risk mitigation with hands-on execution—excelling in stakeholder partnership, vendor negotiation, and delivering measurable outcomes such as increased customer acquisition through integrated marketing initiatives.
