About Sylvia Poulos

Master’s in Management student at Georgetown University with over four years of hands-on experience in hospitality, event management, and catering. I’ve planned and executed events ranging from intimate 20-guest pop-ups to 250+ person weddings, conferences, and branded activations. I lead event setup and logistics, coordinate with vendors and catering teams, and ensure smooth guest flow on site. I create timelines, organize layouts, and manage communication between clients, staff, and service teams. I’ve worked in luxury venues, country clubs, nonprofits, and campus settings-adapting quickly, solving problems, and keeping events running efficiently. In every role, I take ownership of the guest experience and strive to elevate it. Whether managing a 10-course plated dinner or troubleshooting a last-minute schedule change, I stay focused and calm under pressure. I thrive in fast-paced environments and bring energy, clarity, and hospitality to every project. I’m seeking opportunities in event production, hospitality operations, or brand experience. I seek environments where I can grow with a team that values service, creativity, and precision. I’m excited to bring my background and passion to a dynamic organization in the events or hospitality space. Let’s connect!
