Miranda has run B2B and B2C exhibitions, events, and festivals for over 15 years, moving to ‘the dark side’ (recruitment!) in January this year. Commercial at the core, empathetic in delivery, she started in sales at SME London, launching the Independent Hotel Show (IHS) and running the British Fashion Council’s London Fashion Week, British Fashion Awards and Men’s Fashion Week hospitality programmes. Six years later she was sold to Montgomery as Event Director with the acquisition of the Independent Hotel Show. She went on become Portfolio Director of the Experiences Division, geo-cloning IHS in Amsterdam, running The Pub Show, and leading on global Business Development. After 10 years in exhibitions, she left to explore the world of outdoor music festivals, joining Brand Events as Festival Director of Tom Kerridge’s Pub in the Park food and music festival tour, attracting 130K visitors annually. She left as CEO after an exhilarating and intense ‘schooling’ in the business of music promotion and consumer festivals. She is now Managing Director of tfconnect, leading specialist events industry talent consultancy, where she consults with businesses and individuals to help place great people across the full events eco-system. Miranda has successfully launched, developed, commercialised, and delivered a broad spectrum of live event and entertainment products. She has scaled a business to sell. She is experienced at working with IP, major brands, talent, music agents and business leaders, to create and execute quality products that excite the end user and foster their loyalty. She loves working with people and is known for building exceptional teams. Her mission is to inspire and connect people through memorable and meaningful experiences.
