Events, operations,
and the ecosystems
that carry them.

I'm Kelly — an event & business operations strategist. For seven years I've led event operations, program coordination, and on-the-ground representation for founders, incubators, and innovation programs across Europe and Asia — and built the quiet systems that make it all hold.

About

A boutique partner for events, programs, and the operations behind them.

I work at the intersection of event operations, program coordination, business development, and ecosystem execution. My career has moved between large industrial environments like Dassault Systèmes, European incubators like Creative Valley and XRPL Commons, flagship web3 conferences in Brussels and Paris, and delegations across Korea, Japan, Vietnam, Singapore, and Hong Kong.

What stays the same across all of it: I run the rooms and the rhythms that let ambitious people stop firefighting. Events that land cleanly. Delegations with a clear footprint. CRM that reflects reality. Operational rituals leaders trust. Partner networks that compound long after the lights come down.

Partners & Events

Featured partnership — Novacancy Bangkok, by Terrapinn.

I partner directly with the Terrapinn team on Novacancy Asia — the flagship hospitality technology and short-term rental conference in Bangkok — and can extend curated invitations to selected startups and founders entering the region.

Beyond Novacancy, I run and represent events across Europe and Asia — from EthCC Brussels to Korea Blockchain Week, TOKEN2049 Singapore, and delegations in Seoul, Hong Kong, and Ho Chi Minh.

Core Expertise

Events, programs, and the operations that hold them.

01

Event Operations & Run-of-Show

Flagship conferences, summits, and private gatherings — from concept and vendor coordination to speaker care, run-of-show, and the calm presence in the room when it matters.

02

Program Coordination & Delegations

Multi-stakeholder programs, incubator cohorts, and international delegations led end-to-end — agenda, logistics, partners, and the founders carried through them.

03

On-the-Ground Representation

Showing up for the project: booths, panels, partner meetings, and KPI-led missions across Europe and Asia, with the cultural instinct to read each room.

04

Business Development & Partnerships

Opening conversations, structuring follow-up, and turning warm intros into durable relationships across founder, investor, and partner circles.

05

Ecosystem Building & Community Growth

Mapping who matters, where, and why. Building the bridges between programs, founders, and the communities that compound around every event.

06

Operations, CRM & Founder Support

The quiet infrastructure behind the stage — pipelines, rituals, dashboards, and the second brain that keeps leaders focused on what only they can do.

Selected Experience

Seven chapters. One throughline.

Each engagement is presented as it was lived: a mission, what I built or held, and the outcome leadership could point to.

01 · 2 years 8 months

Creative Valley

Ecosystem, Events & Operations Lead — Europe / Asia Program

Mission

Relaunch the incubator's Asian presence through high-signal events and delegations, refresh its European image, and free the founder to operate at the executive level.

What I built

Produced three flagship Paris events around fintech and Hong Kong promotion — programming, speaker coordination, partner activation, run-of-show, and event stand packaging. Led delegations and partner missions across Korea, Hong Kong, and Singapore. HubSpot CRM for clients, partners, alumni, and event pipelines. Small team ownership: deadlines, allocation, delivery. Marketing support: visuals, founder articles, on-site collateral.

Outcome

Strengthened Asian footprint, refreshed European brand image, and a recurring event format the team could rely on — founder freed for executive moments while operations and relationships ran in the background.

Crypto Taboo

Operations & CRM Strategist

Mission

Bridge sales, events, and communication for a fast-moving web3 team operating on short deadlines.

What I built

CRM ownership end-to-end. Founder and team Google Drive structured for shared visibility. Cold outreach, contributions to sales and comms strategy, a short market study for Hylé, and operational support for event appearances. A weekly tracking ritual that surfaced what mattered.

Outcome

Leadership could delegate team management without losing visibility, even under high-pressure cycles.

03 · 10 months

Kararot

Event Operations & International Representation

Mission

Carry a web3 project through a year of major conferences in Europe and Asia — on the ground, in the room, and online — with a clear ecosystem footprint at the end of it.

What I built

Full event operations for Kararot's presence at EthCC Brussels: promotion, vendor coordination, run-of-show, speaker prep, and on-site execution. International representation across EDCON Tokyo, EthSeoul, Korea Blockchain Week, TOKEN2049 Singapore, and regional events in Vietnam, with KPIs on meetings booked and qualified profiles reached. Telegram, LinkedIn, and Twitter community management between events. Executive event prioritization, agenda design, and speaking support for the founder.

Outcome

Sustained visibility across Asian and European web3 communities, with a partner and founder network that kept compounding after each trip.

04 · 3 months

XRPL Commons

Founder in Residence — Program & Event Production

Mission

Walk the founder journey from ideation to blockchain use-case exploration while producing the Women in Blockchain event end-to-end.

What I built

Full event production — programming, speaker outreach and coordination, Eventbrite, partner communication, run-of-show, and host duties on the day. Personal founder exploration documented for the program and brought back as a feedback loop.

Outcome

Three to four new profiles brought into future incubator batches, a flagship event delivered cleanly, and lifted visibility for the program.

05 · 1 month

Proof of Talk

Community, Delegations & Event Growth

Mission

Grow attendance and curate the right rooms for a flagship Paris web3 event through targeted community and delegation activation.

What I built

Targeted outreach across the web3 ecosystem, cross-community introductions, and partner activation beyond Paris. Coordination of informal delegations and partner side-conversations around the main event.

Outcome

New links between previously disconnected communities and an international network that extended well past the event itself.

06 · 2-year apprenticeship

Dassault Systèmes

Operations Excellence — EMEAR

Mission

Hold a meaningful slice of the operations function so leadership could focus on direction, not status.

What I built

Autonomous tracking of client projects with project managers, executive review cadence, and data quality stewardship. Co-led the design of a project data quality dashboard with a tech collaborator.

Outcome

Lighter operational load on the manager and a sharper view of project status and priorities.

07 · 3-month internship

Technatium

Business Development & Operations

Mission

Support early-stage business development and tighten the assets the founder used to sell.

What I built

Sales meetings booked through online and physical forums. Product pitch internalized. Sales deck and logo stewarded as living assets.

Outcome

Expanded founder network and visibility, with several hours per week recovered through more structured systems.

Impact Themes

The work changes shape. The throughline doesn't.

01

Systems behind visibility

Built the quiet infrastructure that lets founders show up sharp.

02

Operational clarity

Replaced ad-hoc tracking with rituals leaders actually trust.

03

Growth through partnerships

Opened and held relationships across two continents.

04

Execution behind programs

Owned the run-of-show for events, incubators, and trade missions.

05

Strategy meets the day

Translated direction into the next ten things, done.
