  • Tech-Forward Execution: Work seamlessly within a modern tech stack, showcasing proficiency in project tools like Asana, CVENT, Salesforce, Google Workspace, and Slack.

  • AI-First Mindset: Possess a natural curiosity and active experience using AI tools to streamline project management, draft briefs faster, and optimize operational efficiency.
