What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead end-to-end event strategy and execution—especially virtual/hybrid conferences—where I can improve participant satisfaction, strengthen sponsor partnerships, and use data-driven post-event reporting to maximize ROI.

I’m a senior event & strategic event manager with experience leading high-impact conferences, executive programs, and community-driven management events across the U.S. and EMEA.

At UST—Global Event Lead Manager (2021–Present), I lead strategy and execution for 40+ large-scale programs annually, partner cross-functionally to align events with organizational goals, and increase participant satisfaction by 40% YoY.

Previously at Vendome Group (2009–2018), I directed programming for 6 national conferences and 8 summits annually, engaging 3,000+ attendees, managed 7,000+ attendees and 100+ speakers, and strengthened sponsor partnerships. I’ve also built a 3,000+ speaker and advisory database, reduced planning time by 30% through scalable event operations systems, delivered 25% cost savings via vendor/venue negotiation, and optimize future programs using post-event analysis and reporting.
