About candidate

About you
Transforming vision into action and results, I am a creative, dynamic, a results driven professional with qualifications from identifying market opportunities to accelerating expansion. With years of extensive event operational experience in B2B and B2C exhibitions, digital events, conferences and networking events, I implement new operational methods, troubleshoot onsite and transform new recruits into leaders of success. Recognised for ability to turn around under-performing operations, identify deficiencies and opportunities, and develop innovative and cost-effective solutions for reducing expenses, enhancing competitiveness, and increasing revenues.
What are you looking for in a new role?
The opportunity to be challenged, and to grow my skills and abilities, so that I can be of even greater value to the organization I am a part of. I’ve been honing my event management in operations and logistic skills for a few years now and, first and foremost, I’m looking for a position where I can continue to exercise those skills in an environment that needs and values it. And, I’m definitely looking for a position where I can grow—professional development is something that’s really important to me.
What you are interested in working with us?
I worked for face-to-face events for a long time and enjoyed my time working for virtual events. I thrived in the environment and worked on several platforms where i sourced some of the best platforms that met our budget and kept our clients happy. I want to thrive in this environment and you offer this priviledge.
What has been most challenging experience in a past role?
1)The most challenging aspect of my last job was troubleshooting some of the older technology. We needed some serious upgrades, but they weren't in the budget. Learning how to work around this problem was quite a challenge, but I learned how by referring to old manuals and online forums.
2) And working with team members who refused to work with new methods and softwares.
