Bio
Miriam Nelken
I’ve been lucky enough to work closely with Marie over a period of 2.5 years on a complex and ambitious multi-million pound creative commission - just one project out of a varied portfolio of high profile work that Marie is responsible for and leads with fantastic skill, vision, integrity and flair. Marie has both broad and deep knowledge and experience across the cultural and event sectors, and her expertise is frequently called on to speak at conferences and contribute to panel discussions and round tables. At EventScotland she oversees a wide range of departments and teams and is much loved, respected, and valued for her strategic insight, razor sharp mind, and supportive, fair and collaborative nature. She has great instincts, the ability to stay calm and clear-sighted in the eye of the storm and she somehow always knows exactly the right things to say and do in all contexts! I cannot recommend her highly enough- she is one in a million.
