Team
Cristina, Founder & CEO
With a strong work ethic, reliable, energetic, but, above all, with the unfaltering belief that “I can do it!”. I was born in Milan in 1980 to a family of entrepreneurs, my zodiac sign is Taurus, and therefore I’m stubborn and determined. The result? In 2003, my dream of becoming an entrepreneur turned into reality and I founded NextEvent.
My dedication and the attention I reserve to my clients are reflected in the wonderful Team working by my side day after day, in the hectic, and sometimes even delirious but always exciting, world of events.
I’m mother of a beautiful girl, I’m a skilful cook, and I love tasting white wine. I also like extreme sports (even if diving, skiing and snowboarding are my absolute favourites) and all the activities that make me feel the adrenaline rushing in my veins…well, a bit like in our job.
My luck? Having met, in these years, wonderful people with whom I spend most of my day at the office, a wonderful family that supports me, and the deep conviction that if you do what you love, you will not work a single day of your life.
Marina, Event Manager
Marina was born in 1985 and is NextEvent CEO’s sister, with whom she also shares the day of birth (April 30). Marina has started working in NextEvent in January 2020, after having worked in two big multinational companies, which allowed her to improve her multitasking personality and her problem-solving and diplomatic skills.
“Finding effective solutions in critical situations is my daily bread”, explains Marina, whose strong skills in this field are a great plus. Her proactivity, smile and that hint of magic coming from her passion for Disney make her a good-humored colleague in the office and with clients.
Her role mainly consists in developing new partnerships, implementing new projects and in planning and developing events from scratch, co-designing initiatives with our clients, supporting them in different related activities.
Her strengths are the ability to listen and understand clients’ needs and the great creativity in designing the perfect event, just as clients want it: a dream event able to find its way into people’s hearts.
Marina is a proud mother of two beautiful children, a lover of good food and for her, family is of fundamental importance.
Carlotta, Team and Event Coordinator
A design enthusiast – “During Salone del Mobile I feel most at ease” – Carlotta officially joined NextEvent team in August 2018, after a successful internship that started in January.
In the office, she is referred to as “Human Facebook”, since she has a great memory concerning the characteristics, experiences and abilities of the large team of NextEvent hostesses and stewards: she is automatically able to assign a certain event to a certain collaborator, never having the need to go check on the database, she can remember everything!
Her strengths are enthusiasm, grit and congeniality, combined with the desire to always give her best.
Carlotta also loves to travel, whatever being the reason, to the point of being nicknamed “The girl with the suitcase”: “When I can, I pack up and leave!” (cit.).
Nicolò, Junior Team and Event Coordinator
Always positive and enthusiastic, especially about his work in NextEvent, which he loves to talk about with his friends, Nicolò coordinates the team of Hostess and Steward together with Carlotta and successfully devotes his work to the planning and implementation of the initiatives organized by the agency, especially with regard to the organizational and secretarial activities.
Steward and Promoter in NextEvent from 2018, he has successfully completed an internship as Team Assistant in 2019, officially joining the Team in January 2020.
Efficient and perfectionist, Nicolò is sociable, sunny and able to enrich NextEvent Team, purely feminine, with a male point of view, which is always needed for the excellent success of events.
A trap music lover, he is also a travel enthusiast, but NextEvent “black sheep” being a Juventus supporter: “What can I do? I live for Juve!” he says.
