Kerry is a creator of experiences—someone who turns spaces into stories and events into ecosystems where every element, from the food to the feeling, plays a role. Over the course of her career, she has brought to life everything from intimate street festivals to global celebrations experienced by millions. Her specialties include food and beverage programming, immersive fan experiences, sponsor rights delivery, and the creative integration of local culture.
Most recently, Kerry was part of the FIFA World Cup 2026 Fan Festival team, helping deliver the largest FIFA Fan Festival project ever staged. Across 13 Fan Festivals in three countries, more than 9 million fans came together to celebrate the world’s game, creating an extraordinary experience for fans and a tremendous success for both FIFA and the host cities.
Kerry thrives at the intersection of creativity, collaboration, and complex event delivery. She brings a deep understanding of the many moving parts required to deliver large-scale global experiences, from navigating FIFA requirements and commercial partner rights to working closely with host cities and local partners to create experiences that feel authentic, engaging, and connected to place.
Known for her creativity, curiosity, and ability to build strong relationships, Kerry believes the best events happen when diverse teams come together around a shared vision. She is always looking for the local flavors, cultural moments, and unexpected details that make an experience memorable.
The FIFA World Cup 2026 Fan Festival was, for Kerry, the perfect expression of why she loves this work: creating a place where people from around the world can gather, connect, and celebrate a shared passion. Being part of such a significant global moment—one that brought more than 9 million people together across three countries—was both a tremendous professional achievement and a once-in-a-lifetime experience she is deeply proud to have been part of.
