I'm offering
I am an Event Logistics Director with over twenty years’ experience of complex global event delivery in high profile corporate and agency environments, notably with fourteen years at IBM in C-Level Corporate events.
For the past seven years I have been a freelancer in roles such as Registration Operations Director for Hewlett Packard Enterprise Discover managing a team of up to twenty people, and logistics number two for the Toyota European Retailer Meeting and GREAT Festivals. In 2015 I also spent six months living in Azerbaijan as Assistant Project Director (catering) for Venues at the Baku 2015 European Games.
One of my talents is finding creative solutions to complex problems.
