I lead the technical planning and execution of large-scale conferences, summits, and live productions. I oversee all event infrastructure including audio, video, lighting, rigging, power, and internet, ensuring every show delivers a seamless, high-quality experience for attendees, exhibitors, and sponsors.Working closely with event directors, venue partners, and AV vendors, I negotiate technical contracts, manage budgets, and coordinate on-site crews to ensure flawless integration of production and design. My focus is on building efficient, scalable systems that elevate both the creative impact and operational performance of each event.In addition to live events, I manage Emerald X’s in-house production studio, supporting livestreams, podcasts, and brand content.
