In The Room
In The Room
She doesn’t talk about rooms. She’s in them.
From the White House lawn to the biggest names in music, film, sports, and business, Nichole Pointdujour has spent her career inside the rooms people say you can’t get into. On October 15, she’s opening the door.
Some rooms change your whole life.
Most networking events hand you a name tag and wish you luck. In The Room is built differently. This is a curated evening where corporate executives, industry leaders, investors, and entrepreneurs sit at the same tables, on purpose, with a host whose entire career is built on connecting the right people to each other. You don’t leave with a stack of business cards. You leave with relationships that pick up the phone.
A conversation with Valeisha Butterfield
Valeisha
Butterfield
Valeisha Butterfield has spent her career in the rooms most people only read about. She served in the Obama Administration as Deputy Director of Public Affairs at the U.S. Department of Commerce and led the national youth vote for the 2012 campaign. At Google, she led global engagement initiatives inside one of the world’s most influential companies. At the Recording Academy, home of the GRAMMYs, she made history as its first-ever Chief Diversity & Inclusion Officer before rising to Co-President.
And before any of that, she was a student at Clark Atlanta University. Today she serves on Clark Atlanta’s Board. The student became the decision-maker. On October 15, she’s back in Atlanta, in this room, sharing what she’s learned about access, influence, and turning relationships into results.
Hosted by The Master Connector
Nichole
Pointdujour
Nichole Pointdujour spent 21 years as a Wall Street executive before walking away to build what she was already known for behind the scenes: connecting the right people at the right time. As Founder & CEO of The Master Connector Agency, she has built rooms where entrepreneurs sit across from executives, where introductions become deals, and where people who were “one connection away” finally make it.
They call her The Master Connector because it’s not what she does, it’s who she is. On October 15, she’s opening her network to you.
