About Dana Hilderhoff

I’m an events and client experience professional with over 20 years of leadership in marketing, brand strategy, and relationship-driven business growth.After spending the majority of my career in executive marketing roles—including serving as Vice President of Marketing for Coldwell Banker Howard Perry and Walston—I made a purposeful transition into the events industry to work closer to the guest experience and the moments that bring brands and people together in real time.I currently work at The Donovan, supporting the on-site execution of weddings and private events. This role allows me to combine strategic thinking with hands-on operations, vendor coordination, and high-touch client service—bridging my corporate leadership background with the dynamic pace of live events.What sets me apart is the ability to see both the big picture and the smallest details. I bring a brand-first mindset, strong communication skills, and a calm, solutions-oriented approach to every event, ensuring experiences feel intentional, seamless, and elevated.I’m especially drawn to organizations that value creativity, collaboration, and excellence in execution. I’m always open to connecting with industry professionals and exploring opportunities where strategy, service, and experience intersect.
