International Speaker | Marketing Consultant | AEA Theatre Stage Manager 

Greetings!

"Unlock the Power of My Expertise for Your Next Event or Project!" 

​

I'm Tanesha Moody! I'm recognized as one of Bizbash’s Top 500 Most Influential Event Pros in the US & Fresh Faces – Event Pros to Keep Your Eye On.

​

With a background in professional performing arts, including Broadway's First National Tour of Mean Girls, I bring a unique blend of creativity and strategic thinking to the table.

​

As a results-driven Strategic Marketing Executive, I'm about turning ideas into reality, solving creative challenges, and nurturing future business leaders. I've defined strategies and produced game-changing projects for big players like Under Armour and Salesforce.

It’s been amazing to play an integral role in the:

  • Creation of large-scale immersive experiences at the Disney Event Group and Salesforce,

  • Driving hotel revenue at ICE’s holiday immersive experience while managing a team of almost 200 at Marriott,

  • Successfully cultivating productions from an audio-visual perspective with PSAV (Encore).

My passion for bringing people together, trying new things (even if it means learning from the occasional stumble), and understanding that business can change the world drives me in this industry. But my true fulfillment comes from leading, inspiring, and guiding others to reach their full potential and achieve their dreams.

​

When I'm not immersed in exciting projects, you'll find me chilling with my cat, Kiwi, engrossed in multiple books or embarking on thrilling travel adventures.

Ready to take your event or project to the next level?

 

Reach out, and let's make it happen!
