Adrienne Wilson is a Senior Director of Events at IANS at IANS. She possess expertise in marketing, event management, salesforce.com, budgets, marketing strategy and 16 more skills. Colleagues describe her as "I've had the pleasure of working with Adrienne at IANS since January of 2007.
Adrienne has an incredible work ethic. She is in early every morning and is a true work horse. You will not find someone more organized or possessing the ability to pay attention to detail better than Adrienne.
While there are countless things I could list that make Adrienne an awesome person to have on your team, there are two in key ones that I would like to highlight in this recommendation:
1. She is a master at dealing with "fire drills" and changing plans quickly and effectively - This is critical in the events business. We are constantly faced with multiple things that comes up unexpectedly typically just prior to an event taking place or at the event itself. If you don't have a leader who can handle this type of pressure, you'll see an event quickly become a disaster.
Adrienne is a master at handling this type of adversity.
2. For 12+ years she has always been the one to take on more responsibility outside her job function simply because the company required it and she had the skills to do it.
An example of this would be when we moved office locations a few years back. We needed to move into a space much larger than the one we were currently in, needed it to be in a specific location in Boston and then needed the space to basically be built and designed from scratch. Along with doing her job, Adrienne took on this multi month long project and when we moved in there wasn't a single person at IANS who wasn't blown away with how great the new space was.
I could go on and on giving example of Adrienne's great work but in the interest of keeping this recommendation not too long I'll simply leave it as Adrienne in an indispensable employee that IANS is very lucky to have. " and "Having worked with Adrienne for several years I can unequivocally say that she is very experienced and talented. She is knowledgeable on the in's and out's of working with venues, juggling logistics, working with vendors, etc... and she does it all with an upbeat and positive attitude.
Managing the logistics of upwards of 12 events per year is no small feat, and Adrienne does so, year-in-year-out, like a true professional!"
Listed skills include Marketing, Event Management, Salesforce.Com, Budgets, and 17 others.
