Responsible for the strategy, research and product development of events within the Financial Risk vertical of Informa's Global Finance business (formerly ICBI). I headed up editorial oversight of the programmes, speakers and digital content as well as their commercial viability through collaborative work with marketing, telesales, sponsorship and VIP teams. My portfolio included two annual five-day LSEs:- RiskMinds International (https://informaconnect.com/riskminds-international/)- QuantMinds International (https://informaconnect.com/quantminds-international/) These conferences are the global industry leaders in their fields of financial risk and quant finance. My main remit was ensuring they remained the market leaders and year-on-year continued to be fresh, must-attend events to be a part of, especially in a rapidly shifting financial landscape. We also developed tailored geoclones for these series to help meet regional market interest. In addition to the in-person events we launched a series of 'digital weeks' consisting of daily-themed live webinars, interviews and discussions.

At LBCG (incorporating American/Canadian Business Conferences Divisions) my role was a multi-faceted one that involved producing innovative, timely and business critical conferences globally, primarily in the oil & gas and energy sectors.I built and developed the LNG portfolio series designed to facilitate worldwide progress across the billion dollar LNG industry. Our conference honed in on the development of senior exec multi-stakeholder engagement and international commercial ties, with particular focus on realising Canada's West Coast potential.
