Maya Richard

Event Manager

I am an event manager with a strong marketing background and a clear focus on impact and community building. At Sirris, I am responsible for the planning, organisation and execution of internal and external events, from concept to flawless on-site delivery. I help teams and partners turn complex content into engaging, well-structured events that connect people and spark collaboration. 

I combine a hands-on mindset with creativity and enthousiasme, and I am not afraid of a bit of controlled chaos to make things work.

Work experience

Fun fact  

I play the flugelhorn in a fanfare and enjoy working out. I juggle my work with two energetic, strong-willed kids. Time is always in short supply. Energy is not.
