• Event Manager | Logistics Professional - based in Spain, travels globally

  • Feb 2017 - Jan 2023

  My beginning on this path was due to old clients (International event agencies) from my previous DMC role started asking me to help them with their onsite operations. Sometimes I'm asked to manage a specific role within an existing delivery team (F&B manager, hotel manager...) and some other times I manage the whole operation on behalf of the client. Seamless execution of the event and word of mouth was bringing me more and more work so eventually my agenda was full with different types of events worldwide. As a freelance event manager I have experience working across a range of industries, supporting and managing end to end projects from incentive travel to corporate events. Whether you need a hand project managing an event, want to bolster your delivery team with a logistics professional or you need some strategic advice to make sure your operational efficiencies are spot on, I’m here to help!
