ABOUT:I’ve spent over 20 years in senior leadership positions within hospitality, food and beverage, and events. I get a buzz out of people enjoying themselves! I’ve been fortunate to market and create events at world class venues including the legendary 360 at Jumeirah Beach Hotel and the 7,000 capacity Zero Gravity beach club. Been a key member of teams that have won dozens of industry awards, and won a few of my own along the way. Over my 4 years as the Group Marketing Director of 21 strong global bars/restaurant chain McGettigan’s, I honed my international marketing skills. Through lockdown I recently achieved a merit in Digital Strategy with the Chartered Institute of Marketing.I have been a key organiser and promoter of over 50 large scale concerts and festivals, including the award winning Sandance festival, DXBeach, and more recently Party in the Park. Trust me, you have to handle pressure to run live events.I have a (not so) little black book of industry contacts, gathered through years of booking and promoting shows for over 1,500 international DJs, live bands and celebrities. Trying to organise a night out for Ed Sheeran with 5 mins notice was an interesting one!INTERESTED IN:Expertise Requests, Consulting Engagements, Job Opportunities
