Director of Global Events - MC Event Consulting

I have always been both creative and goal-oriented, and I bring that approach to my role as Director of Global Events at MC Event Consulting. My mission is to craft events and experiences that leave a lasting impression on participants and exceed the expectations of hosts. Providing exceptional value is my top priority—I listen closely to my clients to fully understand their company’s objectives. From there, my team and I work diligently to deliver on-time, on-budget results, navigating any challenges that arise along the way. Over the past five years, I’ve learned that attention to detail can have the greatest impact—that’s why my focus is on how the smallest details shape the broader experience for my clients. For example, I recently consulted with a client whose brand emphasizes inclusivity. When designing the event menu, we implemented a process to ensure every guest could enjoy every dish. We wanted attendees to feel seen and cared for, knowing their needs were thoughtfully considered. Once those guidelines were established, we created an innovative menu that aligned with the company’s goal of fostering inclusive fellowship. This is the level of service we provide to every client.
