Why I can help

When it comes to the world of events, one can never claim to have experienced the full gamut of challenges or scenarios – there are so many internal and external variables at play. However, as a commercial events professional, I have over twenty years of experience working at senior management level around the world and across a wide variety of sectors, markets and formats. As a business manager, I have successfully overseen start-ups and office turnarounds as well as the growth and diversification of established events companies. I have navigated portfolios and teams through numerous economic, socio-political and competitive challenges across two decades. I have seen and learned a great deal of valuable lessons and effective, transferable methodologies.

Every events business faces unique challenges, each is at a different stage of development and have very different budgets, structures and objectives. I can give you constructive analysis and advice and practical assistance to maximise your strengths, tackle your weaknesses and help you build a respected, robust and profitable commercial events enterprise.
