RonStumphauzerRon Stumphauzer Jr. 39, Senior Client Solutions Manager, Freeman Southlake, Texas While most people are struggling to work their DVR and Netflix, Stumphauzer is crafting cutting-edge audiovisual products for the meetings industry. “Right now I’m working on digital services such as portal, overflow and second-screen technology, as well as brand sensory projects,” says the man who has worked for Freeman for 14 years. Recently, Stumphauzer was asked to take over longtime client RIMS, the risk management society, when the organization hired a new director. â€śBetween our collaboration and guidance, we transformed their annual RIMS event.” The traditional conference and exhibition had grown stagnant over the years. Stumphauzer built an aggressive plan to implement as much technology as possible to fit their limited budget. “We created sponsorship opportunities to assist with their expenses,” he says on going above and beyond. Not only did his team overhaul the look and feel of the event and sponsor revenue, but the overall attendee engagement and experience were enhanced too.
