Speaker & event management
I have extensive experience in managing event production and securing high-profile speaking opportunities for corporate executives. My background includes orchestrating a wide range of events, from intimate salon dinners to large-scale conferences, ensuring seamless execution, optimized participation and impactful audience engagement. I have successfully secured and supported speaking roles for executives at prestigious global forums such as the World Economic Forum-Davos, Fortune Most Powerful Women Summit, Bloomberg Equality Summit and the Council on Foreign Relations.
As an example of my experience managing high-profile event production, I worked closely with Charles Schwab executive Carrie Schwab-Pomerantz at the Professional BusinessWomen of California’s (PBWC) Unstoppable Conference. This conference, known for gathering women and allies with a shared vision of achieving gender equality in professional settings, promotes the adoption of a “career forward” mindset. The event encourages attendees to achieve a 360-degree life, prioritize self-care, take risks for career growth, lead with vulnerability and authenticity and learn something new every day. Notable past speakers included Hillary Rodham Clinton, former U.S. Secretary of State; Martha Stewart, founder of Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia; Mellody Hobson, president and co-CEO of Ariel Investments; and Sheryl Sandberg, founder of LeanIn.org.
In this role, I was responsible for managing key logistical aspects, from coordinating bilateral meetings to ensuring the timely delivery of event materials. I developed detailed briefing materials, providing Carrie Schwab-Pomerantz with key insights, talking points, and background information on fellow speakers and attendees, positioning her as a thought leader in financial literacy and women’s empowerment.
On the day of the conference, I provided on-the-ground support, capturing behind-the-scenes content for social media to enhance real-time engagement and showcase Carrie Schwab-Pomerantz’s involvement. I also orchestrated interviews with other influential participants and media, facilitating valuable networking opportunities and discussions on potential collaborations.
My strategic approach to event production and speaking engagements not only elevated Carrie Schwab-Pomerantz’s visibility but also enhanced the brand reputation of Charles Schwab, demonstrating the company’s commitment to leadership in financial education and community engagement. This meticulous planning and execution strengthened stakeholder relationships and positioned the executive as a key voice in the industry.
The results of Carrie Schwab-Pomerantz’s involvement at the PBWC’s Unstoppable Conference were impactful. By connecting with an audience of over 7,000 attendees, we were able to extend her influence and share Charles Schwab’s commitment to financial literacy on a broad scale. The event provided a platform for capturing both real-time and evergreen social media content, enriching Schwab-Pomerantz’s editorial calendar with engaging posts that highlighted her key messages and insights. This content not only resonated with the live audience but also reached a wider digital audience, further enhancing her visibility as a thought leader. Additionally, our efforts at the conference led to a new speaking opportunity for Schwab-Pomerantz at San Francisco Mayor London Breed’s Be Invincible Women's Summit, underscoring the success of our strategic engagement and positioning her as a leading voice in financial education and empowerment.
