Our Team

I like to refer to our employees as the Justice League for Conferences. The Velvet Chainsaw team has been hand-picked and assembled to raise the bar for face2face meetings. Each employee is an expert, innovator and agent for change in one or more areas of conference success. When combined, these skills (aka – super powers) come together to provide holistic improvement recommendations for our clients. All of our team members consult, write and speak/facilitate. None of them wear masks, fly or bend steel.
