Today marks a very special day that I am thrilled to get to celebrate with all of you! On this day ten years ago, I founded Mandell Experiences LLC. It came to be more than an events company. It became a purpose, enriching people’s lives with joy and memories and turning bold ideas into inspiring experiences. It became an identity, embracing entrepreneurship, the painstaking hustle and breathtaking rewards that come with this roller coaster of a chosen path. It became a passion, getting to make a career out of doing what I love. From bootstrapping to freelancing at the Olympic Games, from deep water soloing comps to multi-day tech conferences, from a pandemic that disrupted everything to buying a house and starting a family, I take this moment to reflect on this incredible journey and the amazing clients, vendors, and attendees I’ve had the privilege of working with and serving. This would all not be possible without you. Thank you! I am excited to navigate into this next chapter with an arsenal of experience and expertise and a stronger focus on event design, leaning into the creative, strategic step zero of event craftsmanship. While my primary focus is on my full-time job as a Senior Program Manager producing and assisting events at Microsoft, I am grateful for their moonlight policy and remain available for consultative work and onsite gigs. ❤️
