The Engineer Who Became an Event Manager | Women @Work

What can prompt an engineer to jump ship and become an event manager? “Creativity,” says Kusum Bala, engineer-turned-event-manager. That, and the excitement of meeting new people, of putting together an event and feeling a sense of fulfilment after the event is over.
Obviously, it was not easy for her to make the switch, but she was determined. “It was tough, initially. I didn’t have any idea how to go about this business, no guidance. We see events on television but we have no idea what goes on behind the scenes to make that event look beautiful for a few hours.” But she overcame all hurdles and personal insecurities to stick on in her chosen field.
Paying attention to detail is a very important skill to have in this profession, she points out. Also passion, self-belief, perseverance, and a never give up attitude.
