Clare Melton

I am an accomplished Head of Events with over 20 years industry experience. I possess expertise in both agency-side and in-house event management for the public and private sectors, successfully delivering events of all sizes and budgets in the UK, US, Europe, Middle East, Asia and Australasia. I am recognised as a results-driven event strategist with significant stakeholder and project management experience, as well as sound business acumen, well-developed communication skills and an innovative, solutions-focused approach. I am also an experienced leader of events teams ranging from 5-20 people who can provide strategic advice to senior executives while tactically managing a team that consistently demands operational excellence. I understand how events work within the wider marketing mix to maximise business objectives and client engagement. Finally, I have a proven track record in change management, specifically right-sizing fit-for-purpose event functions and managing teams through organisational and structural change.
