I've collaborated with several executives, chefs, and engineers to bring their visions, dishes, or designs to life.

In each role, I've found fulfillment in leveraging creativity and speed to contribute to company goals. I deeply value the relationships I build and thrive on pushing the boundaries of what's achievable under tight timelines.

    I'm a trusted strategist on the Finance team at Google, known for my ability to distill complex issues into actionable plans and clear messages that resonate with diverse audiences. I work most closely with executives to produce communication strategy and materials; develop compelling agendas for leadership summits; set and communicate annual org-wide objectives & key results ("OKRs"); and create & launch new programs in line with strategic initiatives. Let's work together to: * Clarify your vision and define your strategic priorities. * Develop and execute high-impact initiatives. * Problem-solve and find creative solutions in areas where you or your organization is stuck. * Improve communication and build a strong team culture. * Build employee trust and unlock your organization's full potential. More about me: Collaborative and adaptable, I excel at building organizational buy-in to drive results and unite teams around a shared vision. While I continue to lead strategic initiatives at Google, I am also available for select consulting projects to share my expertise and support other organizations in their growth journeys. A lover of nuance, I am excited by choosing just the right way to express a complex concept and helping leaders clearly articulate a vision, direction, problem statement, or call to action. Let me help you understand the real problem behind the problem, communicate with precision, and make a strategic leap grounded in your company's values and ambitions. I can consult with you as a thought partner to problem solve creatively and help you get "unstuck," provide feedback on how to nail a change in strategic direction, and draft or edit communications / talking points to help you present yourself clearly, authentically, and with authority. I lead with empathy, creativity, and a sense of humor, using a people-centric lens and an eye for detail. I have over a decade of expertise in strategic planning, project & program management, executive communication, event planning/management, and community building.

    My name is Julián Armando Gervasi, and I’m a passionate event organizer, show curator, performing musician, and singer-songwriter based in San Francisco, California. Originally from Buenos Aires, Argentina, I’ve dedicated over a decade to creating meaningful artistic experiences in the vibrant Bay Area community. As an Event Organizer & Show Curator I specialize in bringing people together through music and cultural events. I’ve organized shows at iconic Bay Area venues like The Great American Music Hall and The Chapel, handling everything from booking artists to promotion and day-of coordination. My goal is always to create events that resonate with both artists and audiences, building lasting connections and unforgettable moments while building community. As a Performing Musician & Singer-Songwriter Music has been at the heart of my journey since I left Argentina in 2013 to pursue my creative dreams. I write songs that blend alternative pop, jazz, and folk influences, with lyrics inspired by personal experiences and my connection to my roots. My performances are deeply emotional, with a focus on creating a genuine connection with the audience. What I Bring to the Table • A decade of experience curating and performing in the Bay Area’s music scene. • A strong network of artists, venues, and creative professionals. • The ability to organize and execute events that are seamless, impactful, and unique. • A passion for storytelling, whether through music or in the way an event is designed to bring people together. My mission is to inspire, connect, and create through art and music. Whether it’s organizing a show, performing on stage, or curating an event, I’m committed to delivering experiences that leave a lasting impression.

    EXPERIENCE Seasoned events coordinator with 10+ years experience on both the creative and production sides of events. I'm equally comfortable swinging a hammer as spreadsheeting a budget, and just as comfortable leading a team as I am being a part of one. My experience ranges from manual labor to production oversight to creative direction, on events as small as 10 guests to as large as 200,000 attendees. As a longtime resident and unabashed lover of San Francisco, I'm connected to the city in both my personal and professional lives. I love every opportunity to be part of events that play to this city's greatest strengths: creativity, diversity, community, and a DIY "anyone can do anything with enough help" attitude.
