Maanami Matthews
Senior Lead Producer
“Getting to see ‘the look’ on clients’ faces when they walk into a room and see their vision come to life is priceless. It’s why I continue to do what I do each day.”
From opening The Ritz-Carlton Dallas as a business center attendant to becoming Director of Event Technology (and eventually pulling double duty as AV Director AND Meetings & Special Events Manager), Maanami has mastered the art of wrangling chaos—spending her days creating plans, backup plans, and backup plans for the backup plans before flawlessly executing them all. She describes herself as either Brain or Pinky from the famous cartoon duo, though given her track record with high-level events and multi-day programs, we’re pretty sure she’s the mastermind.
When she’s not producing events from start to finish or fielding calls while trying to stop her crazy dog Olenna from destroying something, you’ll find this true homebody indulging in nerd movies, gaming, or virtually hanging with her international family—though she does venture out for the occasional horror flick, spa day, or random city drive with Olenna (because yes, there’s definitely an Olenna theme to everything she does).
