Kristin Christensen

Chief Commercial Officer @Aex Convention Services

Atlanta, GA, US

I joined AEX because I wanted to get back to my start-up roots – rolling up my sleeves as a change agent, building from scratch, and driving transformation in an industry I love: events. While I had touched events as a CMO in tech, they were one of many touchpoints in a broader marketing mix. I wanted to immerse myself in this space and help companies and organizers elevate their events into something unforgettable.At AEX, I lead all commercial functions – sales, account management, creative/design services, exhibitor services, and marketing. I’ve focused on building strong leadership, introducing new technologies, and driving efficiency across every area to strengthen performance and create tighter alignment with operations. In sales, that’s meant restructuring the team, recruiting talent, and instilling accountability. In creative and design services, it’s meant enhancing our ability to deliver compelling proposals and engineer unforgettable SpaceScapes. And in exhibitor services, it’s meant raising service standards, equipping the team with tools and training, and ensuring exhibitors feel supported. These changes have elevated how our commercial and operational teams work in sync – ensuring every event is delivered seamlessly and to the highest standard.While marketing – my passion and first love – got a quick upgrade in visuals and positioning early on, I’m now excited to focus more deeply here. We rebranded and repositioned AEX in the market, but we’re only just getting started building the company’s first cohesive marketing function to expand reach, strengthen the brand, and fuel long-term growth.AEX has always been a humble, client-first company – known for delivering great work and retaining customers year after year – but it never set out to grow or tell its story. That’s what makes this moment so exciting: it’s a new era of emergence, with AEX stepping into its own as a sought-after partner. I’m proud to be one of many helping to lead that charge.
