What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values creativity and offers opportunities for growth in a dynamic environment.

I am a dynamic and accomplished Sales & Events Manager with over 10 years of experience in the hospitality and events industry. I have a proven track record of driving revenue, leading high-impact events, and delivering premium guest experiences across diverse venues. My expertise lies in managing end-to-end event operations, guiding cross-functional teams, and building long-term client relationships. I am recognized for my strategic thinking, precision under pressure, and relentless focus on service excellence and commercial results.

Throughout my career, I have successfully planned and delivered events for up to 1,000 guests at some of London’s most dynamic venues, including Market Halls and Vinegar Yard. I have led cross-functional teams and mentored Sales & Events Executives to exceed revenue targets and client satisfaction goals. My entrepreneurial spirit was showcased when I launched and ran a successful food truck business in Bangkok, demonstrating my commercial acumen and ability to collaborate effectively with various stakeholders.
