Testimonials
Riese and I worked on the Canadian Wind Energy Association (CanWEA) Annual Conference and Exhibition in 2018 and 2019. Riese is a knowledgeable and skilled marketing professional who used various strategies, tactics and software to ensure that the Conference attracted over 1,000 delegates each year. They worked tirelessly on these target goals, while juggling other shows and supporting their team, as well as the CanWEA events and communications team. They quickly pivoted when needed and brought new ideas to the table. Riese would be an asset to any organization!

Riese Rubin is a rarity, a true innovator who can do more than think about a problem, they can solve them. Riese is a measured professional who can do marketing, but is also great with customers and co-workers.
