With more than 20 years of industry experience, Claire has worked in a variety of different industry sectors, including pharmaceuticals, FMCG, construction and rail, and more recently, the charitable sector for professional societies. Having held a variety of positions throughout her career, from hands-on event management to senior director-level roles, she understands the needs and priorities of different stakeholders. This experience allows her to help clients navigate their options and find the right solution to meet objectives, audience expectations, and budget.
