I am an enthusiastic and passionate business and operations director with a wealth of experience in experiential, live events, and most recently brand advocacy and training. Throughout my career I have always sought out opportunities to both challenge myself and to learn; most notably I co-founded and acted as Operations Director at Bright, an experiential agency. My skill set is varied and I consider myself adaptable, versatile, and well versed in client services, training, content, event production and have first-hand experience of setting up and running a small business. I enjoy working closely with strategists, creatives and producers to create stand out work for the client.
In a freelance capacity, I had a great opportunity to work with arguably the biggest brand on the planet. Up against a short lead time, I managed a small team in delivering an event celebrating the anniversary of the Nike Tiempo Boot. With multiple facets including a full training session for 50 FOTs (football obsessed teenagers) run by Ashley Cole, plus live Q&A hosted by Rizzle Kicks. Responsibilities included:
Lead client contact
Line managing production & creative team
Budgetary control
On-site management
Despite the short lead time, the event was a success but the main area of satisfaction for me was overseeing the build on the live day and overcoming the logistical challenges associated with a multi-site event.
