With a wealth of experience from appearing at Carnegie Hall to community manager of a thriving executive co-workspace in downtown St Petersburg Florida, to managing client relationships and expectations, Paris Cheffer is the man for the task. A career singing opera taught him to engage with an audience and to create a journey for them. This skill brought success in such areas as creating and managing corporate events with a boutique firm in New York City to managing a network of real estate professionals, creating onboarding and engagement programs. After relocating to Florida, he created an automated marketing program for a promotional products manufacturer, increased client engagement for a trade association and managing client information for a financial services firm. Not only driven for client and company success, but he is also an avid reader, writer of The McLuhan Galaxy blog, gardener, and unbelievably bad watercolourist.
