Testimonials
“I had the pleasure of working with Cheryl over the last couple years as a sponsor and media partner. Her enthusiasm and expertise for event planning are clear. Cheryl was an important part of our visibility during each event, and she was never short of ideas to help us reach our goals. She asked all the right questions to align our needs with the event's audience. She's creative, passionate, and really acted as an extension of our team. She made every collaboration enjoyable and productive.”

“Cheryl is one of the strongest event managers I've ever come across! I had the pleasure of participating as a speaker in several events organized by Cheryl, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. I look forward to the opportunity to work with Cheryl again in the future, and highly recommend her for any event planning needs.”

“I have had the great fortune of working with Cheryl on a digital marketing conference for the last 5+ years. I have seen her tackle incredible challenges - take over the conference with just weeks to plan in her first year, jump into the virtual world during the pandemic (winning a mention by HubSpot) and rebuild the in-person experience in recent years. AND while she was doing all of that, she was developing a real strength as onstage talent as an MC. Throughout the planning and onsite experience, she has impressed me with her laser focus on the overall objective of the experience for attendees, speakers and stakeholders. She is a strategic leader who really understands the value of events.”

CEO & AV Pro, Seamless Events
“What stands out most about Cheryl is her exceptional ability to turn vision into reality and keep a clear head under the pressures of event and campaign coordination. Her leadership of Moz's MozCon conference consistently demonstrated her talent for balancing innovative ideas with practical execution - whether managing complex logistics, nurturing sponsor relationships, or ensuring an outstanding attendee experience. What makes her truly special is her rare combination of creativity and operational excellence. She approaches every project with both strategic insight and meticulous attention to detail. Cheryl is a pleasure to work with, she's the kind of person who makes complex projects feel manageable through her calm leadership and collaborative spirit. Any organization would be fortunate to have Cheryl on their team - she's not just a skilled event producer and marketer but also a true community builder who elevates every project she is involved with.”

“There are some people you encounter in life who you're immediately drawn to for myriad reasons. Cheryl is one of those people. We first met and worked together in a partnership capacity. Her professionalism and willingness to go above and beyond stood out to me. We then built upon our initial relationship as I attended a couple of events she was producing and saw how stellar she was at leading a team, running point on incredibly challenging situations, and keeping a friendly smile and welcoming attitude throughout. I think Cheryl's biggest strength and her successes come down to how much she cares. She cares about the work she does, delivering exceptionally on all levels. She cares about the people she works with, exemplifying relationship-building, empathy and encouragement. Truly, Cheryl is one person I will always hope to have in my corner. And I know she'll be a vital force for growth and good wherever she chooses to focus her efforts.”
