Event management company adds to global leadership team

Global healthcare event management business Ashfield Meetings & Events has announced three major additions to its leadership team.

Jason Erickson has become global managing director, Steve Sanders joins as global finance director and Danisa Frentiu has been made global senior director of human resources at the Ashby-based firm.

Erickson ran Ashfield Commercial and Patient Solutions in Canada for the past 7 years, while Sanders comes on-board from medical device business Hillrom, where he was director of business operations.

Frentiu, who has 15 years’ HR experience, joined the company’s Canadian wing in 2013.

Former global MD Nicola Burns has now left the business having overseen a period of sustained growth.

Erickson said: “I’m delighted to have joined Ashfield Meetings & Events at such an exciting time for the organisation.

“The company has been on a strong growth journey under the leadership of Nicola Burns; they’re winning awards for their exhibit booth designs, are highly-regarded for their research with healthcare professionals, and their talented employees deliver an impressive 2,500 global meetings and events for healthcare businesses each year. Our Global Leadership Team is made up of experienced leaders with extensive strategic and operational expertise, and I’m excited about continuing to grow and develop Ashfield Meetings & Events.”
