Ryan E. Dotter
Hi, I’m Ryan — a sales and marketing professional who helps companies bring their events to life by securing keynote speakers and entertainment.
In my current role, I manage the full lifecycle of talent booking, from sourcing and contracting to logistics and execution, ensuring every detail aligns with the event’s vision and business goals.
The highlights:
My interests sit at the intersection of creative strategy, brand building, and emerging technologies in marketing and events. I’m drawn to ideas that surprise, engage, and create meaningful connections between brands and audiences.
Having worked across multiple industries and roles, I bring a strong self-starter mindset and an ability to adapt quickly in fast-moving environments. I thrive in settings that are high-energy and collaborative, where curiosity and creativity are valued.
I also spent time living in the “51st state” (aka Dublin, Ireland), where I earned my Master’s in Marketing from Trinity College - an experience that broadened my global perspective and deepened my appreciation for culture-driven brand storytelling.
