Alonna Ray Maddox's Linkedin Analytics

As Meetings Technology Consultant, I specialize in working closely with my clients to identify their unique needs and develop a customized technology strategy to maximize efficiency and impact. I have extensive knowledge of the meetings technology industry, a knack for learning new platforms, and a passion for facilitating collaboration. I joined Amex GBT in February 2023 after leading an early-stage startup events agency as Creative Director where I leveraged my skills in audience engagement and technology solutions to create end-to-end events strategies for my clients in the corporate, life-sciences, and non-profit sectors. I am passionate about researching industry trends and keep up to date with leading suppliers to help my clients select the tools that best suit their needs and lead them through strategy and adoption. Before joining the events industry, I lived the multi-hyphenate-freelance lifestyle by collaborating on productions and new play development in American Theatre, managing French translation projects, writing for arts and culture oriented publications, and jumping into any creative challenge that crossed my path. My freelance career gave me the opportunity to be an editor for a novel, a translator for a French biopic, and a reader for new play festivals across the country.
