Convene Names New President/COO

Business hospitality company Convene on Monday announced a handful of significant promotions for its executive leadership team. Promoted from her recent role as global chief operating and chief people officer, Amy Pooser will now serve as Convene’s president and COO, managing more than 260 team members. 

Lizzie Suiter has moved into the role of Convene’s head of corporate strategy, where she will be vital in leading the company’s alignment and forward mobility. Additionally, Convene has brought on Patrick Conroy as head of technology. 

“We are proud to recognize Amy Pooser and our invaluable team members for their hard work,” said CEO Ryan Simonetti. ‘We have phenomenal talent leading our company and Amy’s promotion is well-deserved.”  

These three appointments at Convene come on the heels of the company’s announcement earlier this month that it was forming a new commercial team with former CVENT and Best Buy executives at the helm.
