INGRID NAGY, OWNER OF CATERING BY DESIGN
"I had the pleasure of working alongside Jen Poyer for several years due to our co-participation and volunteerism with the International Live Events Association. Most recently, we served on the international Board of Governors together.
"I have continued to be impressed by Jen's ability to look at a project from a bird's eye view to get to the real root of what needs to be solved. She has a knack for creating a roadmap and strategy to get the project from concept to launch. She has always been someone we could count on to lead the charge and motivate her team to successfully cross the finish line.
"Any organization would be lucky to utilize her project management, strategy and tenacity."
KEVIN WHITE CSEP, FOUNDER AND CHIEF STRATEGIST AT XPL
"Any team tasked with designing and executing meaningful, intentional experiences has to ensure its team has: great vision of the end outcomes, creative mindsets to be able to tinker with possibilities, adaptive natures to calmly flow with change and an eye to the project's parameters to ensure an ability to execute every design. It's rare to have team members with a few these themselves. It's a gold mine when they have all of them. Jen turned out to be a gold mine on the last experience we designed together for a global audience in Canada. I have no idea where she honed each of those traits... but who cares! Great insight, eyes always wide open and intelligent input helped the team challenge itself and then nail the execution. Perfect addition to our band of merry experiential creatives."
GWENDOLYN MCNUTT CSEP, REGIONAL EXTERNAL AFFAIRS MANAGER AT COMCAST
"I have worked alongside Jen as an International Live Events Association (ILEA) volunteer and Board of Governors member for a number of years. She is a knowledgeable, critical thinker, with exceptional leadership skills. Jen is a problem-solver, who consistently demonstrates professionalism, creativity and motivation for the special events industry."
