EventOPS cements industry leadership position with new hire: Michael Fuller, Chief Strategy Officer

EventOPS (www.EventOPSSoftware.com), the premier online tool for streamlining event management, is delighted to announce the appointment of Michael Fuller as Chief Strategy Officer.

Fuller has an impressive background in event technology and the MICE industry, with extensive experience working with a broad range of clients and industries across the United States, Europe and Australasia.  His previous roles have included VP Global for ShowGizmo, where he spearheaded their international expansion, and Strategic Communications Manager for the Association of Australian Convention Bureaux, where he helped raise the industry profile of business events in Australia and globally.

EventOPS Co-Founder Chris Roberts said, “Mike is a stellar addition to our team.  Our software is gaining traction at a heck of a pace, as it’s helping event professionals realize efficiencies and automate actionable plans; Mike’s appointment is key to ensuring continuous alignment of product with customer needs, and his depth of experience in the meetings and events industry is vital to that.”

EventOPS is a member of the Event Tech Tribe, a collaborative ensemble of event tech specialists offering best-in-craft event technology.  Event Tech Tribe COO, Marie-Claire Andrews, is also happy with the news: “I was lucky to work with Mike in Australasia where I was impressed with his nous – and his extensive networks!” she adds; “His global connections and industry knowledge will undoubtedly help make EventOPS #1 in the  ‘business of event management’ and I look forward to working closely with him on Event Tech Tribe business.”

Michael Fuller said, “ It’s an honor to join the EventOPS team – as someone that has planned major events, conferences and summits I absolutely understand the grind and how (and why) event professionals continue to make the list as one of most stressful jobs year after year, so I feel well qualified to help take that pain away!”

The EventOPS platform allows individuals to be more strategic in all areas of the business by breaking down silos, organizing teams (and vendors), automating and streamlining pre-event planning as well as tackling event budgeting.  The events industry has changed a lot over the past 20 years and the EventOPS team feels that the traditional tools and software used has lagged behind.  Roberts added,  “we started EventOPS with one thing in mind – how can we help event professionals create better events.  This is something Mike is also very passionate about and I so welcome him to the EventOPS team.”
