Background

About Deanna Proko

My customer-centric career started in Boston, MA at EF Education First. After a couple of years of growing clients' travel programs from the office, I was ready to follow my dream of moving to the West Coast, and accepted a promotion in San Diego, CA as an Area Sales Manager. I spent my time in the field building relationships with clients, and conducting presentations to groups of 50+ to build clients' programs onsite. As the travel industry's tides changed during the pandemic, I accepted a role as an Account Manager at Uber Eats, managing restaurant groups in the greater San Diego area. I helped clients achieve their business goals with long-term marketing strategies consisting of promotion and ad investment. I am proud to now work as an Account Manager at Cvent, the leader for Event Marketing and Management Platforms. I closely collaborate with Marketers and Event Planners, turning their ideas into seamless, impactful events - from small internal gatherings to large-scale conferences and productions. Behind every successful event is a strong partnership, and I love being the connector who brings people, ideas, and logistics together. As for following my dream to move to the West Coast, I have lost my tolerance for temperatures below 50 degrees, and couldn't be happier! When I'm not bringing events to life, you can find me on long walks with my Golden Retriever, trying a new workout studio, cooking up a new concoction in the kitchen, or planning my next trip.
