What I'm looking for

I’m looking for roles where I can own event logistics end-to-end, partner with suppliers and stakeholders, and drive commercial performance through clear reporting, pricing support, and process improvements.

I bring end-to-end event operations experience across multi-site live events, hospitality, and exhibition environments, supporting delivery from enquiry through on-site execution and post-event follow-up. I’m known for coordinating complex logistics while keeping stakeholders aligned and outcomes on track.

In my current role as an Event Operations Coordinator, I coordinate travel and event-related logistics for international B2B clients and manage multiple concurrent FIT and group programmes. I support proposal development, budget assessments, and pricing strategies, including RFP responses, supplier quotations, and commercial negotiations with venues, hotels, and service providers.

Previously, as a Meeting and Events Executive, I led the full lifecycle for 30+ conferences and corporate events per month across two exhibition-linked hotel properties. I delivered events for up to 500+ delegates, coordinating meeting rooms, catering, AV needs, and multi-department operations, while managing group accommodation across a 570+ bedroom inventory.

I also strengthen service delivery through process improvement and training—building SOPs, supporting recruitment and onboarding, and improving reporting tools (including an Excel-based pricing and margin tracking approach). I aim to combine operational excellence with strong commercial reporting, ensuring efficient workflows, reliable delivery, and clear performance visibility.
