20+ years of experience in Strategic Events Planning and Integrated Marketing, including C-Suite and Live Production events across the US and in international markets. Proven success in developing and executing innovative, differentiated event strategies that MAXIMIZE REVENUES, BRANDING and CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE. My guiding philosophy moves beyond merely executing events, and reflects the art and science of connecting people through events and exhibits that EXCITE AND ENGAGE TO CREATE COMPELLING MARKETING EXPERIENCES. Particular finesse in collaborating with internal and external stakeholders to deliver against business objectives, while carefully tracking budgets and results, and integrating events into the traditional marketing mix. Throughout my career, I have managed diverse events with large and demanding clients such as Bell Helicopter, Toto USA and L'Oréal on a global scale. Events include Annual Conferences, Trade Shows, and New Product Launches, as well as unique Brand Activation programs such as 2014 reveal of Bell Helicopter’s new 505 Jet Ranger at HAI’s HELI-EXPO that attracted 18,000+ attendees. My success is primarily based on a strong customer focus / service orientation, and ability to: (1) Translate client business objectives into engaging programs; (2) Effectively navigate timelines, communicating across project teams to advance milestones; (3) Create an environment where people are committed to the company and working as a team; (4) Execute flawless events that connect customer vision and brand to the audience.Pivotal Strengths:♦ Event Production / Execution ♦ Event Strategy / Marketing ♦ Brand Activation / Positioning ♦ New Product Launch ♦ Optimal Customer Experience ♦ Social Media / Communications ♦ Value Proposition / Differentiation♦ Program / Project Management ♦ Team Leadership / Development ♦ Cross-Organization Collaboration♦ P&L Performance / Budgeting ♦ Responsive Account Management ♦ Consensus Building
