London, United Kingdom, 22 September: CloserStill Media has appointed Nicola Hamann as Managing Director, Europe, strengthening its senior leadership team as the Group enters its next phase of growth and investment.  

Hamann will oversee CloserStill’s Learning & HR and Future Transport & Infrastructure business units across Europe, with responsibilities to continue growth and development across both portfolios.

She joins CloserStill with more than 20 years of leadership experience across the international B2B events industry, severing multiple sectors and geographies. Most recently, Hamann served as Senior Director Guest Events & Locations at Messe München. She has also held Managing Director positions at RX Global and Mack Brooks.

Her appointment comes at an important point in CloserStill’s growth story. The Group has ambitious plans for the next five years, to be delivered through organic growth, new launches, geographic expansion and acquisitions.

As a member of the senior leadership team, Hamann will play a key role in delivering that strategy across Europe, building on the strength of CloserStill’s existing brands while identifying opportunities to enter new markets and further expand the Group’s international footprint.

Matthew Butler, Group MD of CloserStill Media, said “I am thrilled to welcome Nicola to CloserStill. She joins two successful and fast-growing portfolios, backed by exceptional teams and with huge potential across Europe. Nicola’s energy, proven leadership and track record of growing market-leading events make her the ideal person to build on that momentum. I am excited about what we can achieve together in this next phase of growth.”

Nicola takes up the role with immediate effect and will be based at CloserStill’s London office.
