Roman Manuel is an Account Manager and Team Lead at The Ortus Club, managing a portfolio of client accounts with a particular strength in North American markets. He joined in 2021 without a background in events and has since built one of the strongest track records in the team for North American executive outreach and delivery, progressing from guesting director to team lead to account manager.

Roman’s breakthrough came when he was assigned his first North American projects, where his calm, solution-oriented approach under pressure and his instinct for client communication proved exceptionally well-suited to the market. He now leads a team of six and brings the same focused mentality to developing them that he applies to his own performance: competing with where he was six months ago, not with the person next to him. One of his most memorable project wins was securing 18 executive RSVPs on a programme with a target of 8 to 12, a result that reflects both outreach skill and the ability to make senior leaders genuinely want to show up.

Roman is the account manager who stays level-headed when things shift, finds solutions quickly, and delivers results that consistently exceed the brief.
