I’m an MBA/Management & Leadership graduate with hands-on experience supporting international events, hospitality operations, and client-facing coordination in Geneva. I’ve researched and secured venues, prepared tailored proposals, negotiated room rates and contract terms with suppliers, and helped ensure smooth accommodation planning for major events like the AERO Show. I enjoy translating market insights and communication skills into practical outcomes—whether coordinating sponsor/vendor logistics at the Polo Club, managing day-to-day bar operations and guest service, or improving data quality through administrative and database work. I’m especially interested in roles in marketing, public relations, and event management where strong organization, supplier coordination, and analytical thinking can directly support business growth.
