ABOUT KELLI CRANNELL

I am originally from Southern California and have called Colorado home since a blind-date in 2004. Prior to moving to Colorado I spent a significant part of my career in the Social and Corporate Event Planning Industry based in the Los Angeles area. When I began working in the corporate world I started with a Fortune 500 Company as a Regional Meeting Planner. In this role I became familiar with the logistical aspects of bringing people together from all parts of the country for meetings, site seeing and social networking opportunities. Attendees would range from 20 people to 500 people. Due to the large number of events I planned on an annual basis it was imperative to maintain solid relationships with hotels and travel agencies among many other vendors to be able to ensure a successful event for all who attended. When the timing was right, I smoothly transitioned into the Hospitality Industry where my planning skills were honed while assisting my corporate clients with business and social events of all kinds. I had the pleasure of working for both Hilton Hotels and Radisson. During this time I fell in love with the social market and soon found my calling working as a Catering Manager and then Director of Catering planning weddings, bar/bat mitzvahs, client appreciation parties and corporate awards banquets, just to name a few. What I found during my career is that I have a special talent and love for organizing and a meticulous attention for detail. I soon opened my own business as a Wedding Planner {Kelli Noel Weddings} and orchestrated weddings for 5 years with a team of 3 amazing planners. We were blessed to be listed among some of the top talent at wedding venues throughout Colorado. Kelli Noel Weddings was voted Best Wedding Planner for 5 consecutive years, an achievement I am very proud of. I eventually closed the business to focus on a work/life balance and over the following 7 years worked in various roles that would afford me more time with my family. Now that we have a very independent 18 year old in the house, it\'s time for me to get back into the corporate world and make a considerable contribution. I look forward to leaving my mark in my current role at TD Synnex in Louisville, CO.
