I’m an Event & CSR Project Manager delivering high-impact events and strategic partnerships that grow engagement.
What I'm looking for
I’m an Event & CSR Project Manager focused on turning strategy into execution—delivering 150+ annual hybrid and in-person events by aligning cross-functional teams, corporate stakeholders, and nonprofit partners. Over three years, I helped drive a 200% increase in regional engagement and social impact.
At Benevity, I coordinated international employee engagement events for multinational clients and scaled tailored annual engagement plans across global markets. I increased regional engagement from 266 to 800+ participants (+200%) through 150+ events annually, and I led 30+ internal events with 185 employees and 15 nonprofit partners. I also spearheaded the End-of-Year Switzerland initiative (2024–2025), engaging 24 companies, mobilizing 1,650+ employees, and supporting 2,500 beneficiaries while improving scalability and execution processes.
I bring a continuous-improvement mindset—using post-event surveys for impact measurement and standardizing workflows on ClickUp to enhance operational efficiency and training. Beyond corporate programs, I co-founded an independent film collective for five years, and I’ve supported community outreach through 4+ years of volunteering focused on mental health, women’s empowerment, and equal opportunity.
