About

I’m a field marketer passionate about turning great events into real pipeline. Over the last few years, I’ve led the strategy and execution for in-person conferences, trade shows, roadshows, and curated executive experiences across the US, EMEA, APAC and India. From flagship conferences to experiential booth activations, and intimate networking dinners to AI-focused roadshows. I’ve built programs that blend creativity, precision, and clear ROI. My work sits at the intersection of demand generation, brand storytelling, and partner collaboration. I love figuring out what makes a target audience tick and then delivering it with campaigns, content, and moments they’ll remember. I thrive in fast-paced teams, collaborating cross-functionally with sales, product marketing, ops, and agency partners to get things done. Whether it’s managing 50+ events a year or scaling new formats across markets, I focus on the details without losing sight of the big picture. Let’s connect if you’re building field-first growth motions or want to chat about events, SaaS, or the future of marketing.
