Joined The Ortus Club on the 18th of March, 2024
Karen’s dedication as a Team Lead at The Ortus Club centres on creating impactful connections between decision-makers worldwide. Her role combines strategic guest acquisition with meticulous event management, ensuring seamless event experiences for every attendee.
Her commitment to innovation and continuous improvement aligns with The Ortus Club’s vision of evolving event experiences while maintaining its core focus on fostering meaningful business relationships.
My role as a Senior Guesting director is mainly focused on inviting key decision-makers and industry experts to attend an event that we host. I ensure that every attendee shares and gains valuable knowledge to inform their business decisions.
I am also responsible for events running smoothly logistics-wise; from creating the event collaterals to communicating with our esteemed moderators, my role requires me to be an effective and efficient multi-tasker and all-around help to guarantee that the company does what it does best: organising events that encourage strategic dialogues between decision-makers
What’s the most challenging part of your role, and how do you overcome this challenge?
The Ortus Club is a global team that prides itself on tailoring every aspect of an event experience, ensuring that every attendee is given the opportunity to participate in building meaningful business networks anywhere in the world.
With that said, working in a different country and timezone (sometimes the opposite of where I am in!) can cause some struggle. Pulling numerous strings to come together in a unified experience for our guests is no easy feat, especially when I’m hundreds of miles away. Thankfully, we also have team members in different countries. I am able to consult and liaise with them to make sure every detail is met, even when I am not physically present. From my experience, I’ve learned that with clear and concise communication, anything is possible!
Besides breathtaking venues and unparalleled comfort, every guest is assured that the event not only looks picturesque but is also relevant to their interests. The Ortus Club recognises the amount of investment our guests put into attending our events—their time, knowledge, and undivided attention—and we want to repay their generosity by providing the most conducive environment for them to connect and collaborate with their peers.

One characteristic of The Ortus Club that I have always admired is that sharing and gathering knowledge are deeply ingrained in everything we do. Adapting and evolving with new technologies and trends in the industry is a given. With this trait, I have no doubts that Ortus will discover (or make!) innovations that will go beyond our guests’ expectations of what an event should be.
I’m excited to be part of this journey, helping spot new trends and bring people together in meaningful ways. Whether it’s trying out fresh approaches to our roundtables or finding creative ways to make connections even more valuable, I’m all in. I want to help shape how we keep pushing the boundaries of what makes a great event while staying true to what makes Ortus special—those amazing discussions that leave everyone inspired.
