About Ann Tarasena
Strategic marketing and program leader with 20+ years of experience leading complex, global initiatives across technology, education, healthcare, finance, and entertainment in the U.S., Europe, and APAC.
Background
My career has been shaped by global environments, early responsibility, and a bias toward action.
Global Perspective
I grew up in Bangkok and attended international schools, where navigating cultural nuance, complexity, and ambiguity became second nature. That global lens continues to shape how I lead teams and design programs across regions.
Early Business Experience
By my teens, I was managing logistics and trade show operations for my family’s international business—learning firsthand how strategy, execution, and accountability intersect long before it was formalized in a job title.
Leadership Development
That early foundation evolved into producing leadership programs and large-scale events for global executives, with ownership spanning strategy, content, marketing, systems, and delivery.
Results That Matter
Over the course of my career, I’ve led programs that generated multi-million-dollar revenue impact, supported hundreds of thousands of attendees, and advanced business, partner, and customer objectives across industries.
Professional Focus
My work centers on leading complex initiatives that require strategic clarity, cross-functional alignment, and disciplined execution.
