About Rachel Wimberly

With the expertise and relationships I have forged during a career as a journalist and leader for several top publications, my role at B2B Exhibition Company Tarsus Group has morphed into leading M&A and business development for Tarsus Group in North America. Tapping the relationships I have with a vast majority of shows and their owners in the exhibition industry, I have helped bring in or worked on several M&A deals that have led to the growth of the overall company globally. I also have extensive knowledge and reach into our company's divisions worldwide that has led to business development opportunities within the group, as well as with other partners to further enhance the portfolio. I have managed several budgets, including forecasting and P&L, as well as overseeing sales teams and overall management of entire teams. I have launched 6 digital and data programs in different sectors, including news and event web sites with accompanying newsletters and other digital products. In addition, I have a very strong background in journalism, having worked for leading print and broadcast entities, including CNN, Variety magazine and the NY Times, that served a worldwide market in business and entertainment. Lastly, I worked in feature film development for two producers with a first-;look deal at Warner Brothers, working on more than 7 feature films with budgets topping out at $80 million.
