I'm Leslie Wulfemeyer-Gilfillan

Manager, Strategic Development

I joined the Experient Strategic Sales team in April 2009 because of Experient’s excellent reputation in the industry. My area of expertise is servicing the corporate market with a rich consultative focus. Gaining a deep understanding of your corporate culture and company goals is paramount when assisting in strategizing a plan for exceeding those goals.

I have over 20 years of experience in the corporate conventions, meetings and incentives industry. I started in the industry as Director of Meetings and Events for the largest residential real estate company in the world, where we planned many large meetings and conventions, as well as very high level incentive trips. As my career continued in the corporate meetings and events industry, I found my love was on the third-party partner side. Prior to joining Experient, I was Vice President of Strategy and Development for a mid-size corporate incentive company.

I enjoy consulting with clients and recommending the most strategically sound solutions to align with their company goals. I have years of experience in planning and purchasing in the meetings and incentives industry. My experience is well rounded in both domestic and international locations. With this knowledge, and once a clear strategy is defined, I am able to advise my clients of the best destinations and resorts for their events. I have many years of onsite experience, and I understand the planning required and logistics involved in delivering a top-notch quality event.

My personal pledge to you
