THE CONSULTING CHAPTER — 2023 TO PRESENT

HEXAGON

163% over projection — virtually

Hexagon LIVE 2025 was a global digital experience, and Rebecca architected it from the ground up — custom registration, a virtual networking community, animated exhibit hall, and a full on-demand content strategy with 30-day post-event access. The program drew 394 unique viewers, exceeding projected attendance by 163%. Numbers that don't happen by accident.

THEATOR — SURGICAL AI COMPANY

When strategy looks like coffee

For a surgical AI startup's first major trade show presence at SAGES, Rebecca designed an experience that stood out without shouting. A live in-booth barista, iPad-driven demos, zero printed collateral — intentional choices that reflected the client's innovation-first brand. The evening ended with a private dinner for key prospects. Every detail, from the branded espresso cups to the post- show lead handoff into HubSpot, was hers to own.

GLOBAL LEADERSHIP FORUM

Taking it global — from a blank canvas to Bangkok

Engaged with just 68 days to go, Rebecca took on full-cycle management of a flagship international forum for a humanitarian non-profit — site selection through post-event closeout. The result: 124 senior leaders from 31 countries gathered at the Anantara Riverside Resort in Bangkok for five days of strategy, community, and cross-cultural alignment. Delivered on time. Delivered under budget. A defining moment for what Rebecca is capable of.

DISCO

Kicking off the year with intention

Rebecca planned and managed all external activities for Disco's 250-person sales kickoff — from venue research and contract negotiation to catering, awards dinner design, floral, room sets, and on- site support. The kind of event where every moment is a signal to the team about what the company values. She made sure those signals were exactly right with each activity and venue..

EVERHEALTH

Building the event program from the ground up

Embedded as a strategic partner, Rebecca identified and evaluated new event opportunities, negotiated sponsorships with industry partners, and built out marketing strategies that gave each event a clear purpose. Working closely with the marketing team and leadership, she ensured assets were deployed on time and that every program was positioned for maximum ROI — a true extension of the internal team, not just a vendor.

FLYMINGO

First show, done right

Every company has a first trade show. For Flymingo, an Israeli SaaS startup entering the US market at the HDW Conference in Philadelphia, Rebecca made sure theirs was flawless. Budget, show orders, booth design, shipping, giveaways, ancillary events, workback schedules, she handled every thread so the team could focus on what they came to do: connect with customers and make their mark, and capture 400+ leads.

PAYSCALE

Embedded, trusted, indispensable

Stepping in as Senior Event Marketing Manager on contract, Rebecca owned the full event program at Payscale — Transform 2026, World at Work Total Rewards, quarterly QBRs, executive board meetings, and an inaugural Customer Advisory Board at The Tess in Atlanta that came in 18% under projected budget. She collaborated across Sales, Marketing, and Customer Success to align every event with GTM priorities and left behind comprehensive handoff documentation that the team could build from long after her contract ended.

THE ENTERPRISE YEARS — 2015 TO 2023

SYNCRON · 2022–2023

Global field marketing, owned end to end

As Sr. Marketing Manager for Field Marketing and Global Events, Rebecca built and directed a global event program spanning EU and US markets — driving an 11% increase in lead generation through strategic team leadership. She generated 96 new leads at Gartner Supply Chain Symposium alone and directed hybrid Sales Kickoff and User Group productions with live and virtual audiences running simultaneously.

HEADLIGHT · 2021–2022

Scaling a startup's event program from scratch

At this transportation SaaS startup, Rebecca designed the North American event marketing strategy from the ground up — building KPI frameworks, tracking attendee engagement across event types, and managing experiential trade show initiatives that delivered 10.1% sales pipeline growth.

CONTRACT ROLES — MACKIE / MICROSOFT · 2019–2020

Pivoting on a dime — from 40x70 exhibits, to virtual overnight

Two back-to-back contracts that couldn't have been more different. At Mackie/Loud Technologies, she directed a flagship 40x70 multi-functional exhibit for 1,500+ attendees at NAMM. Then, at Microsoft during a period of critical business change, she spearheaded the pivot of live corporate events to virtual — building the frameworks and playbooks that would carry the team forward.

MIRADRY · ALLERGAN · VERO HAIR · 2016–2019

The aesthetic device chapter — global scale, high stakes

Three medical device and aesthetics companies. Three opportunities to do things better than they'd been done before. At Allergan, a cloud-based lead retrieval overhaul drove a 43% improvement in lead generation while cutting costs by 76%. At miraDry, a full booth RFP and vendor process cut trade show costs by 17%. At VERO Hair, she developed a modular 20x50 booth that could be in two places at once. Strategy disguised as logistics.

THE FOUNDATION YEARS — 2000 TO 2015

ACCURAY · RELYPSA · 2013–2016

Managing complexity at scale

At Accuray, she managed programs up to 500 attendees on a $2.2M budget and introduced exhibit efficiencies that delivered a 14% cost reduction for their presence at ASTRO utilizing an 80x90 double deck exhibit space. At Relypsa, a $3.7M portfolio and the implementation of a Strategic Meetings Management program using RACI and ShowGo frameworks brought order to a fast-growing national event calendar.

INTUITIVE SURGICAL · 2010–2013

54 trade shows. One very sharp team.

Managing 54+ annual events on average on a $3.9M budget from tabletop to 40x60 — coming in 5–10% under every year — Rebecca ran the da Vinci surgical system's trade show program with the precision the brand demanded. A 1,500- person semi-annual sales meeting.

SPRINT · MARKETING EVOLUTION · KALEIDESCAPE · 2000–2009

Where it all began

From her earliest years running the briefing center at at Sprint/T-Mobile through Marketing Program Managementroles at Marketing Evolution and Kaleidescape, Rebecca built the fundamentals that would define her career — site execution, vendor coordination, field marketing, and a relentless focus on the attendee experience. The foundation that made everything else possible.
