Applying for · Events Coordinator · Business Technology Club · ISB
I spent four years coordinating high-impact technology initiatives where success depended on planning, communication, and flawless execution. I want to bring those same skills to creating memorable experiences at BTC.
An initiative to demystify product management for everyone at ISB who doesn't come from a PM or engineering background — and show them that it's actually not a gap. I want BTC to be the place that builds that bridge.
I'm not a PM or an engineer — and that's the point. I'll notice the things that those with technical backgrounds might take for granted: the jargon that alienates people, the assumed context that never gets explained, the unwritten rules that make the path look harder than it is. My goal is to make those visible, and then dismantle them. Someone who's been on the outside and found their way in is often better placed to build the door for others.
But why me?

| Skill | My background | For BTC |
|---|---|---|
| Project ExecutionOperations | Led large-scale, multi-phase technology initiatives across thousands of users — tight timelines, hard deadlines, no room to improvise. | End-to-end event ownership: planning, logistics, AV, venue, and delivery without letting details slip. |
| Working Under PressureExecution | Managed high-stakes, time-critical situations where delays had real consequences — stayed calm, triaged fast, kept things moving. | On-the-day event management when things don't go to plan — because they won't. |
| Stakeholder ManagementPeople | Primary point of contact for thousands of users — fielding requests end-to-end under constant pressure, managing competing expectations on all sides simultaneously. | Coordinating with CAPD, college authorities, and other clubs — being reachable, responsive, and reliable. |
| Vendor ManagementCoordination | Managed external vendor relationships — negotiated, tracked deliverables, held them to timelines and quality standards. | Sourcing and managing speakers, venues, catering, and any third-party requirements for events. |
| CommunicationPeople | Communicated across levels — from executives to end users — translating complexity into clear, actionable information. | Promoting events, liaising with Marketing & Comms, and being the coherent external voice of BTC. |
| Cross-Functional CoordinationCollaboration | Ran initiatives spanning legal, infra, ops, and leadership with no single owner — stitching together teams that had no shared reporting line or incentive. | Working across BTC sub-teams and other clubs so events land cohesively, not in silos. |
| Feedback & IterationProcess | Built structured feedback loops so institutional knowledge didn't disappear at every team transition — what worked, what broke, what to carry forward. | A post-event feedback process that's actually read, acted on, and passed to the next coordinator. |

Each one solves a real BTC problem. Click into the live prototypes below each idea — they're functional.
Problem: sign-ups are scattered, feedback forms go unfilled, and there's no single place members stay plugged in.

How would you rate this session?
Problem: clubs plan in silos. Clashes happen. High-demand weeks get overloaded. Members miss things they'd have attended.
Live prototype
Problem: every cohort starts from zero. Speaker contacts, venue notes, what worked — gone at handoff.
