@ruipedrobessa
I deliver global event marketing, stakeholder engagement, and digital platform adoption for international audiences.
What I'm looking for
I've delivered global event marketing and stakeholder engagement at Airbus, bringing its Event Invitation Service in-house and running it end to end for 30+ events and exhibitions each year.
I aligned internal teams and suppliers for a worldwide change programme, then trained and onboarded 150+ users to a new event management platform, reaching over 70% adoption in its first year. I also supported operations at the Paris Air Show 2025 and worked daily with teams across Europe, Asia, and the Americas.
Previously at BNP Paribas Securities Services, I coordinated internal, client, and industry events for C-suite and global leadership, managing communications, logistics, suppliers, budgets, and post-event analysis. I'm now based in Paris and looking to bring cross-cultural coordination and marketing communications to an international team.
