Danielle Cirami-Gillis
37, Vice President, Events and Tradeshows, Northstar Travel Media
Oceanside, New York
A burst of energy wherever she goes, this young executive’s winning personality is a natural fit for the sales side of the industry. After five years working PC Expo trade shows for CMP Media, followed by a decade at Questex in the MICE events group, Cirami-Gillis took a job with Northstar Travel Media only a few months ago and is already wowing her new colleagues. “Launching and managing events within the meetings industry while significantly impacting the bottom line of travel suppliers and helping meeting planners is what drives me,” says the Veep who exceeds her annual sales goals every year. Managing a portfolio of 14-plus events annually, she is often on the road, and it’s her work-life balance her co-workers also admire. “On top of her work duties and being a loving wife and mother of two, Danielle takes the time to give back to our local communities by volunteering for MPI, Hospitality Sales and Marketing Association and the International Association of Exhibitions and Events, among others,” raves one former colleague.
