Jacqui Nakiwala

An experienced and creative Events Manager and Project Manager, who is highly organised, proactive, confident and resilient with a high level of written and verbal communication skills. I have a wealth of experience organising corporate events, away days and socials for organisations from start to finish, paying great attention to budgets and time constraints and in turn creating a buzz and positive experience for staff. My roles have seen me source venues, hire staff, organise catering and entertainment and negotiate with vendors and suppliers. I also have a wealth of experience with global events and travel management and coordination, which include London, Paris, Milan and New York Fashion Week. Events and staff wellbeing are my passion, I love hosting events, and so I put my heart and soul to ensuring I organise the best events. I always have my ears to the ground and know what is going on, enabling me to anticipate the best events for staff, especially when it come to Diversity & Inclusion.

My roles have enabled me to work and act with a high level of professionalism, autonomously, confidentiality and efficiency. I am also able to work well with, and build and maintain relationships with internal and external stakeholders at all levels, work well under pressure, presenting all my tasks with a high attention to detail and accuracy, and keep to tight deadlines, whilst at the same time maintaining a flexible approach to ever-changing scenarios.
