Tell us about yourself?
My background brings a variety of experiences within with positions held in Operations, Sales Leadership, and Multiple Property representation. I’ve held roles with leading full-service hotels and focused service properties providing me the business acumen of strategizing for large properties as well as the hands on know-how to execute every detail needed to create a seamless event experience. Since leaving hotels I had the opportunity to move into a full-time role with an established Destination Management Company where I was able to further hone and sharpen these skills.
The development of these skills, passion for creating bespoke experiences, and knowledge I’ve gained made me decide that this was the line of work I wanted to be in and continue to grow with. In tandem, the realization while in hotels that we could be doing more with the opportunity of experiencing the surprise and delight from clients when we were able to inject that wow factor into their program really made me know I was choosing the right line of work.
If you could go back in time a year or two, what piece of advice would you give yourself?
Take the opportunity and jump sooner into the Destination Management Company role! It was something I delayed a bit due to the pandemic but should have embraced sooner.
What problem does your business solve?
Corporate Event Architects tackles the complex challenge of orchestrating successful and impactful events. Our clients often face issues such as lack of time, depth of expertise, or resources needed to plan and execute an event that aligns with their brand, engages their audience, and achieves their strategic objectives. We solve these problems by offering end-to-end event planning and management services, from initial conception to post-event follow-up. Our comprehensive approach ensures that all logistical details are seamlessly integrated and meticulously executed.
What is the inspiration behind your business?
The inspiration for Corporate Event Architects stemmed from a keen understanding of the challenges that companies often encounter when trying to host impactful and successful events. In today’s dynamic business environment, events serve as a powerful platform for companies to engage with their audience, promote their brand, and achieve strategic objectives. However, the complexities of event planning – including logistics, content creation, attendee engagement, and overall management – can be overwhelming, particularly when these tasks are not within the company’s primary area of expertise or their team is stretched thin without the resources needed to dedicate the time solely on executing the event.
Our business is designed to solve these challenges for corporations and organizations of all sizes who look to host events. We believe that no company should be hindered by these logistical obstacles from hosting exceptional events that can advance their mission and connect them with their audience. At Corporate Event Architects, our goal is to transform our clients’ visions into memorable experiences, managing all aspects of the event so they can focus on the other aspects of their program.
