MY DAY-TO-DAY
Continuous Learning. Continuous Collaboration.
Building successful events has always been my main goal and I am still developing my skills today, particularly in this exciting period where we find ourselves re-inventing the industry.
That said, I also like to share my previous experiences with my colleagues and clients, bringing my expertise to new areas of growth and development.
WHY CONGRESS?
Finding New Ways to Connect
Due to the pandemic we had to completely reshape our industry and find new ways to connect our congress participants to one another, whether in person or virtually.
This is my true motivation, to constantly think ahead to the future and brainstorm with the team, ask customers, and be curious about all the new digital tools and trends.
Put simply, it’s about working out the best way to offer the best possible service.
WHY KUONI TUMLARE?
Embracing Change through Trust and Support
At Kuoni Tumlare we have always embraced change (and we’ve been through quite a lot in the past few years).
Our top management has always been supportive through these transition periods and has believed in what we were doing. With this trust and support, we’re empowered to make key decisions and free to design new concepts.
CORE VALUE
Innovation is Everything
Without innovation our business would die – like any other. It is more relevant than ever to have teams working on new ideas and processes in order to continue bringing the best congress experiences to our clients. I am very proud to be part of the innovation hub and to contribute to the ongoing improvement of our business.
PROUDEST MOMENT
ECER 2021: A Difficult Challenge with Amazing Results
Last year we were tasked with organising and delivering a virtual congress with over 40 parallel sessions running across a whole week for ECER 2021. Completing this requirement, and hosting a successful event was an incredible achievement bearing in mind the complexity of virtual management and the sheer scale of the event.
FAVOURITE DESTINATION
London: A Melting Pot of Cultures, Nationalities and Languages
My favourite destination is London. I like the melting pot of cultures, nationalities, and languages which makes ideas and trends interesting and inspiring. I worked from the London office many years ago and still look back fondly at memories of exploring the city and visiting other cultural highlights across the UK.
