EXPERIENCE

08/31/2017: Final speaker at the Digital Marketing segment of the City Club Los Angeles' Tech Conference
I did a 20 minute speech at a seminar focusing in on sales and digital marketing. This was building off of previous presentations of how sales reps can turn their down time towards making themselves brand experts. Social Selling was the key topic and how to achieve it. Title of the speech was: "Get Sales Marketing".

09/15/2017: Moderator & Organizer for an Executive Luncheon: Grow Your Business in Los Angeles
This event was a panel discussion in which I organized and moderated the event. To create an interesting event, I was able to gather local subject matter experts in technology (Mike White), marketing (James Hsieh), financial (Danny Li), and legal (Elizabeth Yang) on to a panel to discuss challenges that many small businesses are facing on their path of growth. I also was able to secure celebrity and viral sensation William Hung of American Idol fame to join our panel to discuss adversity. Lastly, I secured various sponsorships for the event from Vision33, CYBERTEGIC, Yang Law Offices, and SAP graciously sponsored the door prizes and Happy Hour, where William Hung performed his infamous hit, "She Bangs".

05/16/2018: Keynote Speaker at UCLA 
I was the keynote speaker for a course at UCLA entitled Leadership Communication Strategies class at UCLA. I was on campus to speak specifically about my whole life and how I got to where I am at. I spoke specifically targeting young entrepreneurs about leadership and effective communication as they join the business world.

05/18/2018: Moderator & Organizer for an Executive Luncheon: Focus on Distribution in Los Angeles
As a follow up for the initial event that I did the previous September, I set up an event that focused on growing companies that move products. This event matured since the original event, having learned from experience, and was a very similar format but also had some new twists. The subject matter experts assembled for this panel were amazing. In addition to myself, I had Mike White covering technology, James Hsieh for marketing, Shiny Burcu Unsal discussing business strategy, and Humberto Linares for Logistics. In addition to this, I also added some more formal speaking spots and had the Shadow CEO, Tiffany Largie, and SAP's Laura Honeycutt speak. The keynote speaker for this event was once again William Hung. This event outperformed the first event in both terms of attendance and with sponsors. The event is not a permanent fixture and will be put on 2 to 4 times a year.

07/16/2018: Speaker & Organizer for the 2nd Annual City Club Los Angeles Tech Conference
I worked with James Hsieh of Cybertegic to grow last year's successful event. We ended up breaking the event into 3 separate tracks. We had the main show with the keynotes speaking at the beginning of the events and then split into 3 separate tracks. The tracks were Digital Marketing, Business Automation, and Cyber Security. I secured the sponsorship from SAP as well as had Laura Honeycutt from SAP as one of the main keynote speakers. I was also in charge of the "second track" being the "Business Automation" track. I had Mike White of Vision33, Inc. give a demo of how businesses can automate their processes with ease using SAP Business One. I also invited our friends at Batchmaster to demonstrate how their automation software works in conjunction with SAP Business One.

08/23/2018: UCLA Business Leadership Panel
I was presented with the opportunity to join a panel of successful business people from various background to join a discussion on business. There were questions we all got to answer individually and there were questions that we answered collaboratively. It was such a great experience, not just for me, but for the other panelist and the students as well.

11/01/2018: Cybertegic eBusiness Conference
This was a great event set up by James Hsieh, the CEO of Cybertegic. I was at this event as a subject matter expert in business and operational efficiency. I gave a very good speech using two case studies about how process automation can help keep a growing business from being victims of their own success.

02/07/2019: Host, Moderator, & Organizer for the Executive Luncheon: Increase Demand event
​After the major successes of the first two events I created, we were given the opportunity to bring back the Executive Luncheon series for its third chapter. This time I wanted to focus on increasing demand. I learned from the past two events and have created an amazing speaking line up that the crowd will fall in love with. The attendance for my "anti-luncheon" is 125 people full of executives and owners of small to medium sized businesses here in Los Angeles. We took this event a step up and contracted Brian Vander Ark, lead singer of the band "The Verve Pipe" as the keynote speaker and also to perform his hit single "The Freshmen" during the SAP sponsored Happy Hour.
