From 2008 - 2015, Jessica managed the day to day operations of Empire as well as focusing on business development and strategic planning.
A member of Empire team for over 15 years, Jessica has had her hand in running all aspects of event production; from account management, logistics and budgeting, to talent acquisition, management and coordination, technical production, creative development and design.
Jessica has applied her experience to provide strategic leadership and insight in helping develop and produce major event, conference, broadcast and festival projects for Fortune 500 companies, not for profits, media agencies, entrepreneurs, politicians, and private individuals.
Some of Jessica’s many career highlights at Empire include Executive and Senior producing roles on the Time 100, United Nations He For She Campaign, Clinton Global Initiative’s concert at Carnegie Hall, O Magazine’s 10th Anniversary from Radio City Music Hall, Fashion at Lincoln Center Presents an Evening with Ralph Lauren Hosted by Oprah Winfrey, Mary J Blige Honors, Viacom & Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation’s Get Schooled, and countless others.
At Empire, one of Jessica’s main tasks was managing the producing teams and production operations on a diverse slate of projects. Her approach to production always starts with maximizing synergy between Empire's staff, clients and partners to create an elite production experience that strategically achieves the right messaging for the brand as well as inspiring the audience.
