Reviews
I’m Riley — a producer trusted to lead complex, high-profile experiences across corporate events, experiential marketing, live entertainment, global sporting events, and premium hospitality.
From directing large-scale festivals for Live Nation to producing corporate and brand experiences and leading Platinum operations surrounding the FIFA World Cup, I’ve built my career taking on ambitious projects where the expectations are high, the moving pieces are endless, and exceptional execution is the standard.
I lead the clients, teams, multimillion-dollar budgets, production, content, rehearsals, show flow, logistics, and real-time decisions that take an idea from “What if we…” to doors open. I’ve done it alongside some of the biggest brands and organizations in the world — and still genuinely love the moment when a great team looks around and says, “Alright, let’s make this happen.”
Think big. Know the details. Lead the room. Deliver the show.

Services

I provide end-to-end production leadership for corporate events, live shows, brand activations, and experiential programs—from the first big idea through show close. As a producer, I lead clients, teams, budgets, timelines, content management, rehearsals, vendors, and live execution, including show calling and real-time cue management. Whether producing a high-profile corporate show or an immersive brand activation, I build the plan, lead the people, and own the details that bring ambitious ideas to life seamlessly and at scale.

High-touch hospitality and operational leadership for executive, VIP, and premium guest programs across corporate and global sporting events. Born and raised in Mississippi, Southern hospitality is more than an approach to service—it’s part of who I am. It’s an instinct for me to anticipate needs and make people feel genuinely cared for. It’s how I was raised. From luxury hospitality spaces and bespoke itineraries to transportation, lodging, credentials, and complex guest movements, I pair that instinct with meticulous logistics and thoughtful, white-glove service to make every experience feel effortless.

Strategic production and operational support for complex events across corporate, experiential, live entertainment, festivals, and global sporting events. I step in wherever a project needs experienced leadership—helping shape operational plans, budgets, timelines, staffing structures, vendor strategy, permitting, site operations, safety, crowd management plans, guest flow, and scalable systems that keep the bigger picture moving. Whether building from the ground up or joining a project already in motion, the goal is to bring experience, fresh perspective, and thoughtful strategy that sets great ideas—and the people behind them—up for success.

Artist-focused hospitality and backstage management for festivals, concerts, and live entertainment. From advancing riders and contractual needs to artist compounds, dressing rooms, credentials, transportation, meet & greets, and show-day coordination, every detail is handled with discretion and care. Creating a backstage environment that is organized, welcoming, and dialed in allows artists and their teams to focus on what they came to do—put on a great show.
