Hi! I’m Anne Williams, a senior executive with more than 17 years’ experience implementing creative strategies to produce bespoke, high-profile corporate and leisure travel experiences budgeted between $350,000 and $3.5 million. I have proven expertise at delivering data-driven increases to brand power and consumer loyalty for professional sports teams, banks, academic institutions, high-profile individuals, and small to mid-size enterprises by leading, serving, challenging, and inspiring staff to grow and excel in their roles. My key achievements include:✅ Partnership & Collaboration – I supported a Professional NFL team for 10+ years managing travel, events, and relationships across the business, team, and alumni. During this, I intrinsically aligned with the team’s culture of excellence and servant leadership with the enterprise, League, fans, and the community. I launched the first-ever NFL-themed multi-day experience and the first-ever NFL cruise experience, where players and fans connected in a life-changing vacation to cement brand loyalty, increase investor relations, and create new business opportunities. These annual events boast a 60% repeat customer history.✅ Business Development – I founded Sports Vacations, Inc. to create fan engagement experiences at professional sporting events, including the Super Bowl, World Series, Final Four, and Masters Tournament. I also led a merger with Travelers Service Company, a travel agency servicing over 150 corporate, high-end leisure clients, and became the official travel partner of the Pittsburgh Steelers. I cultivated a deep network of strategic partners to support event planning and logistics.✅ Resilience – I led my travel and events company through the COVID-19 pandemic. To make this successful, I created, executed, and refined recruiting strategies to motivate employee retention and mitigate operational risks while expanding lead generation and services to existing clients under extreme circumstances. I also troubleshot hundreds of time-sensitive crises while on foreign soil and prior to travel to produce optimal outcomes.My core skills include:Event Production | Relationship Leadership & Engagement | Project Management | Vendor & Contract Negotiations | Recruiting and Hiring | VIP Management | Budgeting | Brand Development | Simultaneous & Strategic Multi-Party Management | Lead Generation | Advertising, Marketing, & Press | Risk & Mitigation Analysis | Investor Relations | Customer Retention CONTACT: anne@epexventures.com | 412.926.3387
