About Anita Blackwood

I am a results-driven Events Professional with deep marketing and leadership experience across diverse geographies. I combine strategic rigor with innovative thinking to develop and execute integrated event marketing programs that build brands and drive business growth. I have a demonstrated ability to galvanize and motivate diverse teams at all levels and across functions to deliver measurable results.

My superpower is creative thinking — I take pride in developing innovative solutions to complex challenges.

Based in Austin, Texas, my love of travel means you're just as likely to find me in an aisle seat on an American Airlines flight as you are at my desk. Outside of planning and executing events, I cherish time with my husband and daughter, our golden retriever Chance, and our bichon Duke. I'm also an avid gardener, an aspiring home chef, and a self-proclaimed home improvement TV junkie.
