COREY WILSON
Corey Wilson-Arts and Business Professional | Event Producer
Engaging People, Improving Processes, Elevating Experiences
Who Am I?
“I’m a dedicated arts and business professional who thrives at the intersection of creative programming and efficient operations. With a decade of experience in event management, business and finance management, budgeting, and community-focused arts work, I bring a steady, solutions-oriented approach to every project. Personally, I’m someone who values connection, collaboration, and purpose (knowing your why), qualities that show up in how I lead, communicate, and support the people around me. I care deeply about the work I do, I show up with integrity, and I’m always looking for ways to help teams succeed and communities feel seen.”
Why Hire Me?
EXPERIENCE
“My blended background in arts and business gives me a unique edge: I understand the creative process and the operational systems that make it possible. I bring a producer’s eye for detail, a manager’s discipline with budgets and logistics, and a collaborator’s instinct for building strong relationships. I know how to balance vision with practicality, adapt quickly, and keep projects moving with clarity and care. Hiring me means bringing on someone who can bridge teams, streamline workflows, and elevate the overall impact of the work.“
I KNOW MY WHY
“I first discovered Simon Sinek’s TED Talk on “How Great Leaders Inspire” early in my career, and it genuinely reshaped how I approach both my work and my life. His message about the golden circle and understanding your why pushed me to define the purpose behind what I do, not just the tasks themselves, and that clarity has guided every step of my professional growth. I’ve carried that mindset into my leadership style, encouraging colleagues, artists, and partners to connect with their own “why” so they can lead with intention and confidence. It’s become a core part of how I show up focused, grounded, and committed to inspiring that same sense of purpose in the people around me.
PERSONALITY
“I have a warm, grounded personality with a natural mix of professionalism and approachability. I lead with empathy and sincerity, and people feel comfortable coming to me because I communicate with clarity and genuine care. I am deeply motivated by purpose and community, and that shows in the way I champion others, build relationships, and stay dedicated to the work. I am organized, thoughtful, and forward-thinking, but can also bring a light, positive energy that keeps teams feeling supported and connected.
