Kaylan Hardy

I am a creative, detail-oriented marketing, events, and project coordinator with 5+ years supporting brand initiatives across tech startups, nonprofits, and founder-led organizations. I deliver people-first, systems-driven solutions that improve execution and communication.

I've planned and executed 10+ national and global events, managed $50K+ budgets, and coordinated large-scale vendor, speaker, and attendee logistics for conferences up to ~10,000 attendees. My approach emphasizes documentation, SOPs, and workflow optimization to scale programs reliably.

As a founder, I built operational systems for multiple small businesses — designing Notion dashboards, lead databases, intake forms, and communication systems that supported daily execution and client visibility. I also created donor and fundraising processes using centralized platforms to improve reporting.

I thrive in fast-paced, remote and hybrid environments, supporting senior leadership and cross-functional teams to streamline processes, reduce risk (e.g., lowering past-due parts by 20%), and increase event ROI through stronger vendor management and tracking.
