About Elizabeth Ridgway

I am thrilled to have made my 5-year plan a REALITY with a career pivot. Thank you to DJG Inc. for allowing me the opportunity to apply what I learned from 20 years in hospitality management to the industry of A/E Design. During my 20+ year career in the hospitality industry, I have built a valuable skill set anchored by creative problem-solving and strategic leadership. My experience in planning and selling large corporate events has helped me hone a portfolio of transferable skills including- Precise communication skills - Strategic planning across multiple departments - Creative problem resolution - Budget analysis and development - Internal and external negotiation / contract writing - Persuasion without having direct authority - Calm under pressure - Ability to focus and juggle numerous tasks in a fast-paced, stressful environment - Customer and sales management - Effectively presenting to customers, stakeholders, and executive leadership - Ensuring customer satisfaction while minimizing exposure to risk I am most fulfilled when working on deeply meaningful objectives that require strong interpersonal relationships, strategic planning, careful monitoring of progress, and concluding with results that meet or exceed expectations. I embrace change and enjoy analyzing strategies to develop a clear, actionable plan. My competitive nature is evident in my work and I am naturally motivated by being the best and winning, no matter how difficult the task.
