Louise and the Gemlike team were amazing event production partners in supporting Kiva to host the Gender Equity + Financial Inclusion Forum. The Gemlike team was everything we could hope for in a partner with expertise in executing in-person and virtual events from start to finish. Louise and her team were extremely professional, communicative, creative, and nimble. I hope we’ll have an opportunity to work together in the future! – Katrina Ngo, Director of Investor Relations, Kiva

I was challenged with organizing a remote event from halfway around the world. Louise was instrumental in scouting locations, sending me video footage of her walking around each location, pointing out pros and cons, and helping us choose the best possible location for our event. She then went on to organize everything from the menu, through the seating arrangements, to signage and name badges. The event was flawlessly executed and we received nothing but compliments on the venue, the food, and the overall organization. I wholeheartedly recommend Louise for any event planning and management project and will definitely consider working with her again – Udi Ledergor, VP Marketing, Gong.io

When I needed logistical support on fairly short notice,  Louise came highly recommended by one of the best account/customer service managers I’ve worked for in the events industry.  She did not disappoint.  She excels at project management, especially setting up systems and processes.  She is a problem solver,  trustworthy, smart, experienced, and also a lot of fun to work with.  The Foundation’s annual conference is mostly created and run by volunteers, with minimal support by staff.  Louise and her team learned quickly how to navigate and work collaboratively with the Wikipedia community.   I look forward to working with her again in the future and would highly recommend Louise for just about any project or event. – Ellie Young, Events Manager, The Wikimedia Foundation

For our organization’s third annual fundraiser party we needed an event producer who would be able to bring our event to the next level, yet lower the level of responsibility and stress of the director and board. We had learned from our first two events the incredible importance of a talented event producer and thus interviewed multiple people to ensure we found the best producer we could find. Having now worked with Louise on two fundraisers and currently working with her on our third, I can attest from extensive experience what an incredible event producer she is. Louise exudes a continual positivity and excitement around the production of an event, while providing direction, leadership and guidance throughout the process. Her years of experience are evident from how she interacts with the many personalities involved with an event to the execution of the many details in preparation, the day of as well as after the event. Louise has been incredibly impactful on our organization and has helped lead our annual fundraiser to grow into a well oiled, dynamic event. I would highly recommend Louise to any group in need of excellent event production. – Nick Cooper, Founder, Home for a Home

I had the pleasure of working with Louise first as a colleague, where I had the opportunity to witness her exceptional teamwork abilities, sincere dedication to her work, and consistent positive attitude. More recently, I have been lucky to work with Louise in a client capacity at the Skoll Foundation and she has once again exceeded all expectations. Louise’s strong project management skills and ability to engage in creative problem solving, combined with her flexibility in shifting situations and calm presence under pressure, make her an ideal partner for any project. I hope our professional paths cross again! –Lindsey Fishelder, Program Manager, Skoll Foundation

I first saw Louise’s work when I attended the Holiday Fair at The Laundry. I was impressed at how she and her team transformed a workspace gallery into a lively holiday market of curated vendors. When I had a special event of my own come up, I first thought of Louise. In our initial meeting, she provided valuable feedback and resources. On the day of the event, I was able to completely trust Louise with making sure everything ran smoothly, which freed me up to make meaningful connections with the event attendees. As the event’s emcee and stage manager, Louise addressed the audience with grace and professionalism. Louise also went above and beyond in winding down the event. Working with Louise helped me to meet my goals for the event. I still receive compliments today from attendees about the event. Organized, proactive, and effective, I would love to work with Louise again! – Bernadette Cay, Author and Artist, Something More

Louise worked for Caspian on some of our largest and highest profile clients. She has an incredible work ethic and is dedicated to improving processes and procedures to make companies work smoother. She went out of her way to make sure our systems would be more efficient and was always looking for ways to improve. She is also just plain fun to be around! – Heather Mason, President, Caspian Agency
