2. WHY I AM LOOKING FOR A NEW
OPPORTUNITY:
16 Years in the Event Marketing business, then a detour for a few years in other
marketing initiatives, I know I am meant to be involved in event marketing. Period.
My past has led me to be an award winning Executive Producer for Fortune 500
corporate events/initiatives, a Director of Business and Marketing Strategist for a
start-up Eco-Friendly childcare center, as well as an Account Director for B2B
marketing agency. I have succeeded in these vast areas of experiences by being
a leader, listening and then developing concepts and delivering desirable results.
A proven team leader focused on creating strong client relationships, delivering
high ROI products on time/ budget, and exceeding goals.

One of New York City's most famous events is the New
York City Marathon, which runs each year in early
November. Since its modest beginning in Central Park
when 127 runners participated in front of a meager
cheering section, the race has grown to include over
39,000 participants who traverse the five boroughs in
front of, organizers say, two million spectators and a
worldwide television audience of 315 million.
