Richard Harper has dedicated the last two years investing in HelmsBriscoe's infrastructure and raising the bar in its meetings procurement offerings to ensure it is providing best-in-class support for its associates.
Harper has helped to grow the company's brand across the globe -- hitting and exceeding the $1 billion mark in room revenue in a single year -- a first in the industry. "When we booked $1.003 billion in 2014, and then exceeded our record again in 2015 with $1.075 billion, it was certainly a highlight for us," says Harper.
"We have a pure, authentic, and consistent business model that works, and we are always welcoming new associates and clients who want to be part of something very special."
Harper has also strengthened the industry through his work as co-chair of the Meetings Mean Business Coalition, helping spearhead the first annual Global Meetings Industry Day this year. He plans to continue the group's work in promoting face-to-face meetings.
