What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead end-to-end, high-stakes event and exhibition programs in regulated tech markets—bringing measurable brand impact, calm on-site delivery, and sustainable, tech-enhanced production with strong stakeholder alignment.

I’m an Events Director with 12+ years leading high-profile international events and exhibitions for brands competing in the iGaming, fintech and high-risk sectors. I own the full event lifecycle—strategy, budgeting, logistics, creative, staffing and on-site execution—and pair deep marketing expertise with sharp operational delivery. Across 20+ international exhibitions in 10+ countries, I’ve built event functions from the ground up while introducing sustainable, tech-enhanced production.

In my current role as Head of Events, I lead the global events and exhibitions function for a high-growth payments brand, owning event strategy, budgeting and on-site delivery for major industry conferences and client activations. Previously, I led 20+ global exhibitions end to end at Medier Agency, researched eco-friendly tech-enhanced booth materials, sustained a 97% internal-stakeholder satisfaction rate, and earned two promotions for event strategy and execution. Earlier, I designed Cyprus employer-branding strategy, handled PR and local media and activations, built a marketing department from scratch, and consistently managed budgets, KPI tracking, sponsorship/media negotiation, and cross-functional coordination under pressure.
