She has an energy and enthusiasm of above average capacity and the recognised ability to motivate others... Just ask her friends and colleagues!

Madalina Marincas

While studying Event Management in Birmingham, Madalina had the opportunity to work with Rose for OD&V often, which ‘opened the door’ to the conference industry. Now a proud full-time member of the team she grasps how much of her professional development is owed to OD&V. Living for the world of events, Madalina holds a Master with Distinction in Marketing for Events, was a passionate 2012 Olympics Games Maker, enjoys sport and the outdoors, and has a keen interest in organising... everything (mainly others!)

Her background in sales and marketing in a number of industries as well as an educational academy trust is invaluable as Sarah now looks after promoting OD&V as well as the individual clients’ projects.
