I'm Doreen, an events and operations leader based in Berlin, with 14+ years of experience building memorable experiences, high-performing teams, and the operational systems that make organizations run.

I'm a first-generation American and lifelong traveler. After studying abroad in Prague and spending years exploring Central and South America, Asia, and Europe, a move to Berlin felt like a breath of fresh air — a practical and exciting next chapter for our family.

I've always been drawn to places, people, and moments of connection. Events became the natural expression of that, but so has building the teams, systems, and structures that make organizations thrive.

My career has been defined by building things from scratch. New events, new teams, new functions. I'm happiest when I'm handed a blank page and trusted to make something out of it, bringing order to complexity, holding the big picture and the finest details at the same time, and rallying a team of collaborators around a shared vision.

I've produced conferences, summits, galas, activations and internal events for organizations ranging from Google and the NFL to L'Oreal's luxury brands. On the operations side, I've built agency infrastructure from the ground up, establishing project management functions, growing creative teams, and streamlining how organizations work, including for mission-driven nonprofits in the health and financial wellness space.

Whether I'm working as an embedded leader or a trusted outside partner, my goal is always the same: to make your organization more impactful, more efficient, and built to last.

If you're building something or need someone to bring structure to something that's grown beyond its systems, I'd love to talk.
