The IMEX Group has a new Chief Operating Officer.
Nalan Emre has been promoted from Organising Director to the newly created position at the company which organises industry-leading trade shows IMEX in Frankfurt and IMEX America.
As Chief Operating Officer, Nalan has been entrusted the responsibility of managing the Operations (formerly the Organising team), Office Management, Event Tech and HR teams at the company, headquartered in Hove, UK.
She will plan and direct IMEX’s operational policies, structures, procedures and initiatives and collaborate with the Chairman, CEO and FD to set company strategy, forecasts and plans.
Her new appointment will support and direct the future of the IMEX Group, a highly successful, privately owned company which has grown to 60 employees.
Nalan has worked for the company for over 16 years, since the first IMEX in Frankfurt show, and was a key member of the launch team for IMEX America in 2012.
Carina Bauer, CEO of the IMEX Group, mentioned that Nalan is a highly knowledgeable and respected member of the team with a deep understanding of the meetings and events industry and the professionals who are part of it.
Nalan Emre, Chief Operating Officer at the IMEX Group asserted that she is delighted to become Chief Operating Officer, leading their high calibre team to help them continue to deliver events that are creative, fun and business-focused.
Nalan, born and raised in Germany, has over 20 years’ experience in the meeting and event industry, ranging from organising large-scale consumer shows, rock concerts to hot air balloon festivals. She began her career as Project Manager for a trade show and special events company based in Munich before moving to Chicago, USA, to work for Hall-Erickson supporting the organisation of The Motivation Show – at the time, the world’s largest incentive merchandise and travel show.
She had joined the IMEX Group in 2002 and was an integral part of the team launching the first IMEX in Frankfurt show in 2003. Nalan lives in Hove with her husband and two daughters.
Mark Mulligan, who has worked for IMEX since 2011, steps into Nalan’s former role to become Director of Operations. He will be responsible for directing all operational processes for both shows with a firm focus on continuous improvement to raise the quality of the experience for exhibitors and attendees.
