Trivandi hires Kelly Gibbons as head of US business

Trivandi, a London-headquartered sporting and major events consulting firm, has hired Kelly Gibbons as executive vice president for the USA.

Based in Miami, Gibbons will lead Trivandi’s US business, overseeing market development, senior client relationships, strategic partnerships, and commercial performance.

She brings more than 20 years of experience in business growth, market expansion, commercial strategy, organizational development, and strategic partnerships.

For the last 13 years, Gibbons co-founded and led Main & Rose, a marketing communications agency advising clients across government, real estate, and destination development. She holds a bachelor’s degree in marketing from Florida State University.

“Kelly joins Trivandi at a pivotal moment for our US business. We have built strong momentum in the market, and her appointment gives us the leadership, relationships, and commercial focus to take that to the next level,” said James Bulley, co-founder and CEO of Trivandi.

Gibbons’ appointment arrives on the back of several US-based projects for Trivandi, including serving as official advisory & delivery founding partner for World Expo 2031 Minnesota, operational delivery partner for the Los Angeles 2026 Global Esports Games, and advising Inter Miami CF on the opening of Nu Stadium in Miami.

“I’m excited to join Trivandi at this stage and help build a strong, sustainable business in the US. The team already has an incredible track record, and I see a significant opportunity to deepen client relationships, open new markets, and bring Trivandi’s experience to more organizations across the country,” Gibbons said.

Trivandi was founded in 2013 by the leadership team that planned and operated the 120+ venues of the London 2012 Games. The firm has grown to 100+ people across offices in London, Liverpool, Dubai, Riyadh, South Brisbane, and Los Angeles – and delivered more than 300 projects in 30 countries.

Trivandi has offerings in strategy, design, planning, delivery, and operations for events, venues and destination, sport, guest experience, and sustainability.
