Twenty years chair umpiring tennis at Grand Slams and the Olympics teaches you something about running high-stakes moments - reading pressure, deciding under uncertainty, and building teams that stay composed when it matters most. Richard Haigh, now Director of European Business Development at IntelliEvent, brings those hard-won lessons from the umpire's chair to the world of corporate event operations. A session for anyone who's ever stood in the back of a room when something was about to go sideways.
Speakers
Kusal started at IntelliEvent as a development intern in 2015 while studying Industrial Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Wisconsin. He joined the team full time in 2016 and today works across many departments as a developer and sales engineer. Day to day, you can find him building new features, supporting implementations, scoping out customizations or just helping our partners however he can. When he isn’t in the office or on-site with our partners, Kusal enjoys playing guitar, piano and more. He’s still in need of some bandmates, so please contact him directly if you need someone funky in your band. Warning: his dancing shoes are always on.
Richard Haigh is Director of European Business Development at IntelliEvent, the operations platform for AV, lighting, and event production companies since 1998. Before joining IntelliEvent, Richard spent two decades officiating professional tennis, chairing matches at all four Grand Slam tournaments and two Olympic Games.
