Event Planning - I've run my own comprehensive event/meeting planning company nationally and internationally for 17 years. I manage marketing, PR, contracts/legal, budget creation, RFPs, site selection, theme creation, prospectus creation for sponsorship sales, vendor management, speaker acquisition, negotiation and contracts, set up/tear down, on-site management, diplomatic and dignitary protocol and decorum, full transportation management and post event review. Clients have included Kodak, Xerox, GM, Hewlett Packard, Anthony Robbins, Heineken and then NYS Governor George Pataki to name a handful. I independently create, arrange and manage singular events to multi-city events annually. Organization - Having my own event planning company requires extreme organization with high attention to every minute detail. It means pre-emptively preventing any potential issues prior to actualizing. I'm capable of both physical and non-physical organization. Operations - I've been a Regional Retail Operations Manager for a luxury department store chain (managing 5 locations) in the Middle East as well as the Operations Manager (and HR) managing A-Z of the total operations of the company including the corporate office and warehouse. I orchestrated the move of a 30,000 square foot warehouse with tremendous success. I share this to indicate I've held management positions of considerable responsibility. I'm fully capable of orchestrating events from A to Z. Event Planning is my passion! My gratitude comes on the event day when a perfectly successful event is implemented. I love making my clients achieve their desired outcome and attendees enjoying the entire event. Creation & Implementation of Processes/SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures) - I have researched, advised and put processes in place for a number of start-ups as well as associations without proper infrastructure and vision. Project Management - Pulling all the pieces cohesively together on a timeline is my forte. This can fall as Project Management, Association Management for non-profits, Operations Management to Chief of Staff. Consultation - I provide consultations for companies that need direction, advice and steps for success regarding event planning, retail management, start ups and project management. Graphic Design - Often, I end up creating multiple graphics for my clients to include sales pieces, newsletters, info pieces with QR codes, festive flyers and more. I use Canva Pro for all designs. Research - I am successful at researching and delving into topics in great detail. I've produced reports for companies up to 72 pages to provide direction for them. I'm also open to hearing of any specific needs, even if different than the above specialties. I have an entrepreneurial mindset, am consistently positive, professional and aim to always exceed expectations. Bring me aboard to have a perfectly orchestrated project!
