El conocimiento y la pasión de Duncan por la comunidad a la que sirve FESPA hicieron que fuera fácil tomar la decisión de regresar en 2022 para liderar el equipo de Marketing y Eventos después de casi tres años ofreciendo eventos de primer nivel para la comunidad de RR.HH.

Con más de 20 años de experiencia en comunicaciones y eventos B2B, la experiencia de Duncan como periodista senior y últimamente director de eventos de todos los formatos de eventos en varios sectores, desde seguridad pública, FMCG y alimentos y bebidas, lo preparó bien para desempeñar un papel clave en el crecimiento de FESPA con un enfoque en contenido significativo y conexiones para la comunidad de impresión global entregada a través de nuestro programa de premios, conferencias y eventos destacados en nuestras exposiciones globales de 2010 a 2019.
