Background

About Abel Girma

With several years of experience in IT, Digital Media, and Event Management, I’ve cultivated a dynamic career at the intersection of technology, creativity, and operations. My journey began at Old Dominion University, where I studied Information Systems and Leadership Management and worked in the ITS department, providing IT support to students. This role jumpstarted my tech career, leading to a position as Digital Media Manager for a retail chain after graduation. There, I built a strong foundation in web design and digital media marketing. I later transitioned to a global support engineer role at SES Networks, where I gained hands-on experience in network operations and honed my teamwork and technical problem-solving skills. This role also allowed me to earn certifications in Salesforce, ServiceNow, and data support applications. My technical expertise expanded further as an IT Support Associate with AWS, where I managed ticket systems and software applications. In 2018, I founded my digital media platform, evolving a blog into a hub for providing digital media marketing solutions to talents, brands, and businesses. Through this platform, I’ve organized events and built connections in the hospitality industry to expand my business. To further develop my operations and event management expertise, I took on a role as Operations Manager at Focus Social Club, where I oversaw events and facilitated the company’s operations. Throughout my career, I’ve designed and marketed several websites for companies and freelance clients, leveraging my digital media experience to deliver impactful online solutions. My diverse background uniquely equips me to drive results at the intersection of IT, digital media, and events.
