About Anastasiia

I help B2B companies turn trade shows and conferences into measurable pipeline — not just well-run events. Over 12+ years I've led 100+ event programmes across 30+ countries and connected them to revenue using Cvent, Salesforce and Power BI.

As Global Marketing Operations Lead at Hitachi Energy, I run flagship industrial trade shows end to end — Intersolar, WindEurope, Data Centre World, ADIPEC, Busworld — and I led the Cvent + Jifflenow + Salesforce integration that wires registration, meeting-booking and lead capture straight into CRM.

I've built 30+ Power BI and Salesforce dashboards that show which events, messages and follow-ups actually generate qualified pipeline, and I brought "no ROI, no budget" discipline to a portfolio where most events had no measurement at all.

What I can do for you:

• Run or rescue a trade-show / exhibition programme end to end — budget, booth, vendors, logistics, customer engagement, debrief

• Set up event-to-pipeline tracking (Cvent / Jifflenow into Salesforce) so meetings and opportunities are captured, not lost

• Build event-ROI dashboards and KPI frameworks in Power BI and Salesforce

• Systematise your event operations with playbooks and templates your team can actually run

I'm calm under pressure, obsessive about the small details that make live events work, and equally at home in a booth briefing or a CRM report. I usually start by finding where your event spend leaks, then fix the highest-value gap first. Based in Kraków (CET), working remotely across Europe with occasional on-site.
