About our Talent & Partner Manager

Escalate and resolve conflicts related to availability, exclusivity, compensation, or IP/privacy issues, owning remediation to protect host relationships and revenue commitments
-
Prepare executive and host briefings, talking points, and logistics summaries ahead of partner calls, recordings, and live events
