Andrea Petschner

I am an internationally experienced, senior sales & marketing specialist and seasoned event management professional with a focus on the service industry and public sector. I have been planning and executing international events with guests from 25+ countries, from short one-hour press conferences in Amsterdam, to ten-day millennium incentives, or five-day luxury trips incl private planes to Dubai's desert. As I have worked in the service industry since I left school, conduct with dignitaries, business people, scientists and tourists from around the world come natural to me. I am also happy to do my part following protocol in a powhiri (most recently at Nga Hau e Wha Marae). At the age of 26 I started by own event management business in Europe; operating the Civic & International Relations Unit in a business-like manner would run in my blood. Meaningful contribution to my work environment is shaped by my ethos, integrity, vision, courage, and my personal management tool-box I've built, filled, polished and refined.
