Strata has appointed Phil Staines as chief of staff, a newly created role that
will see Staines assist the agency with strategy development, organisational
structure and process, and continued expansion plans.
Staines, the former chief of staff at brand experience agency FIRST, joins Strata following roles at BCD Meetings and Events and Grass Roots. Reporting directly to Strata CEO Simon Hambley, Staines will assist the board and help it to shape, prioritise and
execute strategic business initiatives, including acquisitions and proposition
development.
Hambley said: “Phil joins Strata at an
incredibly exciting time. He will be working on a variety of tasks, helping us
to achieve our ambitious business goals and ensuring slick communication and
collaboration across the Strata portfolio and all departments.
“Phil is no stranger to the live events
industry so I am certain that his knowledge and comprehension of our exciting
sector means he can hit the ground running and help us to achieve amazing
things.”
Staines said: "I am
thrilled to be joining Strata at this exciting juncture, in what promises to be
a real time of change and innovation for the events industry.
"One of the things I admired most about Strata is the exceptional
reputation it has, which is driven by a truly passionate team. You don't often
get a chance to work with great people, who want to do some great things, so I
am excited to get going.”
