We chat with the Director of Sales and Partner Alliances at Luxperience.
The great thing about my job is…working with a diverse group of people who are experts in a variety of elements/fields.
The challenge for industry is… remaining relevant and innovative in a segment that is increasingly demanding, with higher expectations. Our industry is quite careful now in terms of how they spend their elusive marketing dollar and our industry whether we like it or not, requires us to ensure that we deliver on the things that count.
My greatest achievement is… my family. They bring out the best in me and are a constant reminder as to why I do what I do – every day!
The biggest thing in MICE this year will be… TRADE SHOWS! We can’t live without them yet we seem to have too many both here and abroad plus a lot of shows that have since popped up are merely ‘ticking a box’ rather than delivering valuable outcomes.
I try to relax by… PRAYING!
I don’t understand why… society is increasingly time poor and creating a culture of non-responsiveness and disrespect.
My favourite venue is… In Australia, its Australian Technology Park – it has a beautiful story and is full of character. International venue is Sun City in South Africa – it is an amazing hidden gem in the centre of South Africa and is perfect for any type of event with something for everyone.
I’ve always wanted to travel to…South America
I am scared to death of… GOD!
I can’t live without… my family and……my bloody iPhone!
I really wish I had… the money to live next to the Beach!
If I could invite four people to a dinner party, they’d be… Nelson Mandela, Captain America, Pharrell Williams and Steve Jobs. Four amazing people, well, actually………… three AMAZING people and one cartoon character because he’s just awesome!
For anyone starting out in the industry one piece of advice I’d give would be …. You will reap what you sow! Be prepared to do the hard yards and work!
