Emmanuel Gotsis

I am passionate about creating unique experiences that engage, inspire, and delight audiences. These experiences are not only meaningful but also measurable. With over 20 years of experience in the events industry, I have led teams of all sizes to bring visions to life. I believe in the power of storytelling and use it to create meaningful connections between brands and people. Additionally, I am passionate about paying my experience forward through coaching and mentoring teams and individuals I work with and manage.

 

Early in my career, I had the honor of working at Apple where I successfully led global events from 2000 to 2005. During this time, I helped audiences 'Think Different' about the brand and our products through live experiential engagements. I carried this ethos forward in my work with other organizations, including Dell, PayPal, Cisco, and Microsoft.

 

Throughout my career, either as a full-time employee or consultant, I implemented a Voice of the Customer approach to experiential engagements. This approach applied to in-person, virtual, and hybrid experiences. Regardless of the industry vertical or consumer-facing event, I engage audiences by immersing them in real-world scenarios. I do this by using their language and addressing their unique challenges, rather than relying on traditional corporate product or solution marketing.

 

Most importantly, I am married to my beautiful wife, Joey, who is an Energy Healer and Meditation Coach. We are proud parents to our furry son, Jr. You can find us traveling, hiking, meditating, cooking, or on the golf course!
