Marie Browne

Group Vice President, RX

I am privileged to manage (and grow!) a portfolio of industry-leading events at RX, a global company in the business of building businesses. My current portfolio spans a wide range of industries from industrial sectors such as pharmaceutical manufacturing to retail sectors such as golf.

So why am I privileged? Because I get to manage the best team of people who work hard to make sure that our event brands are leaders in their industries. And I get to learn everyday about the ins and outs of so many industries that drive innovation and the economy.

In addition to managing a portfolio of events, I participate in company strategy and M&A. I have handled transactions of events and business representing values from $5M to $50M in the US, Mexico, and Brazil. I have also led the launch of new business representing $10M+ new revenue per year.

I am also honored to serve as the Chair of Center for Exhibitions Industry Research (CEIR) and on the Board of the International Association of Exhibitions and Events (IAEE).

And a little less relevant today but maybe of interest, I received my BBA from Baruch College and my MBA for the University of CT.
