Communication and Event Director
Verified
I bring over 18 years of experience across the full spectrum of communications—media relations, public relations, partnerships, internal communications, and marketing—in addition to event management. My background has given me the ability to design and implement strategies that connect brand storytelling with measurable business results.
I have worked with international brands, luxury hotels, cultural institutions, and corporate partners, which has sharpened my skills in stakeholder management and cross-market collaboration.

This versatility allows me to not only deliver seamless events but also to ensure they amplify the company’s overall communication objectives.More...
