Align the annual strategy with commercial priorities and segment growth objectives.
• Budget and Financial Management: Manage the global events budget, forecasting, vendor contracts, negotiations, and post‑event reconciliation. Track return on investment, cost per opportunity, and customer engagement costs to optimize spending and guide investment decisions.
• Event Planning and Execution: Oversee end‑to‑end logistics, including venue and vendor selection, registration, booth and experience design, staffing, shipping, on‑site coordination, and post‑event activities.
