Crafting Signature Events And Unforgettable Experiences
International Events
Having lived across Europe and now based in the US, I bring a global mindset and an intuitive sense of how people connect across borders. Multicultural, multilingual, and well traveled throughout Europe, the US, and Canada, I understand how markets, languages, and expectations differ and how to align them. Whether you are a European company planning your first event in the US or an American agency expanding into Europe, I help translate vision into experience. I can provide full-service event planning for your next international program or step in as a liaison or strategic partner for cross-cultural elements of your event.

Ideas and Opportunities
Always wanted to take your annual meeting abroad but not sure where to start? Considering an incentive around a major sporting event or adding a cultural element to a global conference? From the Olympics in Europe to the World Cup in North America, from trade shows in Barcelona to leadership gatherings in Seattle, and from incentives in Iceland to retreats at the Grand Canyon, I help teams identify and activate opportunities that connect both continents. I leverage my expertise and international network of trusted local partners to bring global ideas to life, seamlessly and strategically.
Inbound and Outbound
International events work both ways. Hosting overseas guests? I help you create programs that make them feel genuinely welcome and understood through thoughtful hospitality, cultural cues, and local touches. Sending your team abroad? A game plan tailored to your team, destination, and goals ensures they adapt confidently and make the most of every opportunity. Travel and international collaborations should not be daunting, it should be exciting, enriching, and focussed on new possibilities.

Expectation Management
Even the best plans can drift when teams interpret the same message in different ways. Working internationally often means navigating distinct business styles, local customs, and communication habits. I help ensure everyone is aligned from the start by reviewing contracts, clarifying expectations, and connecting you with the right partners. The results speak for themselves: stronger trust, smoother delivery, happier guests, higher engagement, and better long-term relationships.
Support for Global Teams
Every international project benefits from a bridge between continents. I work with companies and agencies as a consultant, advisor, or liaison, offering support where it adds the most value. This can include joining site visits, sitting in on meetings and negotiations with local vendors, or supporting your marketing team with cultural insight. Whatever the setup, if there is a connection across the Atlantic, I make sure ideas translate clearly and collaboration flows effortlessly.

Coaching and Continuity
Support can extend beyond logistics. Event and marketing teams often look to me for guidance in building cross-cultural confidence through training, coaching, and alignment playbooks. This includes preparing teams for international meetings, improving cross-cultural communication and understanding, and creating internal guides for future projects. I travel frequently between Europe and the US and often operate on multiple time zones. I am just as happy to join a midnight call as a sunrise strategy session to fit your needs and time. Helping teams grow into global thinkers is one of my favorite parts of the job.
