TRAVEL MANAGEMENT

Incentives & retreats

Picture this: your team celebrating milestones on a bike tour through the historic heart of Amsterdam or gathering around a campfire after a glacier hike in Alaska. Incentive travel is not only about recognition; it’s about creating shared moments that inspire loyalty, energy, and connection. With more than fifteen years of international experience between the US and Europe, I help companies design incentive programs and retreats that blend adventure, authenticity, and appreciation. Each journey is built with purpose, balancing strategy and spontaneity to create lasting impact.

  • Concept Design

    I design programs that find the right balance between focus and freedom, creating time for meaningful meetings, wellness activities, and once-in-a-lifetime adventures. Whether that includes a wine making experience in Portugal’s Douro Valley, a hot air balloon ride over Utah’s red canyons, dogsledding at the Arctic Circle in Finland, a yoga morning on the beaches of Maui, or a sailboat race through the Greek Islands, every experience is designed to inspire, connect, and celebrate. Some groups seek high-end retreats with space to reset, others prefer incentive trips full of adventure and team spirit. Whatever the vision, each concept is tailored with intention and creativity. Crafting signature business events and unforgettable experiences. That’s what I do.

DESTINATION INSPIRED

Authentic Experiences

Every destination tells a story, and I love the challenge of matching program goals with the character of a place. A boutique hotel with local charm, a visit to a centuries-old landmark, or a hands-on workshop learning a traditional craft are all opportunities to connect more deeply with the surroundings. Maybe it’s an exclusive art-inspired retreat in New York, or marveling at the rich history in Rome, Italy. By being present in the moment and the location, exploring together, and sharing experiences, teams reconnect, creativity flows, and people return home inspired.

  • Planning and Coordination

    Having lived in multiple countries and worked across continents, I understand how international nuances can be translated and cultural expectations can be aligned. With a vast network of local experts, I manage every aspect of planning and coordination, from travel arrangements and hotel selection to transportation, meals, excursions, entertainment, meeting spaces, speakers, and gifting. In everything I do, I focus on thoughtful partnerships, clear communication, and the details that make travel seamless. Organizing and connecting across cultures is my specialty, and you’ll feel that from the very first call.

RUNNING THE PROGRAM

Program Execution

When the journey begins, everything comes alive. Together with a team of trusted local experts, I oversee each moment, ensuring the program flows smoothly and every guest feels cared for. From morning briefings to evening celebrations, I am there on site to guide, facilitate, and make sure every part of the program runs exactly as intended. The first sunrise, the sound of laughter over dinner, the shared sense of discovery, these are the moments that define a great incentive or retreat and create lasting memories of unforgettable experiences. Behind it all is quiet precision, care, and the joy of seeing everything fall perfectly into place.

  • Reflection and Continuity

    When guests return home, the story continues. I gather feedback and insights, not just to measure success but to inspire the next experience. Each program adds a new perspective and opens the door to future adventures. Perhaps next time we will be living it up in Las Vegas, chasing waterfalls and Northern Lights in Iceland, or unwinding at a private ranch under the big sky of Montana. I can’t wait to see where we’ll go next!
