During my tenure with the Rockefellers, I had the privilege of producing an internationally recognized art show featuring Chinese artists. This event, held at the Rockefeller Playhouse, required meticulous coordination with various entities, including the Secret Service and FBI, due to the attendance of celebrities and political figures. In addition to this, I have successfully managed and produced events involving Prime Ministers, Senators, Governors, and other dignitaries, including filming at the White House.
What sets me apart is my ability to build and lead cohesive teams, both internally and externally, to drive projects toward a common goal. My collaborative approach ensures buy-in from all stakeholders, resulting in highly successful events that exceed expectations.
I have attached a letter from Steven Rockefeller, who can attest to my capabilities, particularly in managing events with international participants.

A note from Steven Rockefeller,Jr.
Denis O’Brien assisted my family in organizing restoration of a prominent historical mansion and the safe arrival of 17 crates with 82 Chinese paintings for an elaborate art show just outside Germantown, NY. The affair included a formal dinner and is still, after a decade, considered by locals as a prominent gift to the community.
In other circumstances, Denis coordinated my travel and filming for a Malaysian lumber company in Papua New Guinea. This was part of my deliverable for a four year public relations contract also including a photojournalist essay which became especially popular with the Chairman and his family. Denis’ partnership turned my concepts into reality and set me onto a path of continued creativity in much of my international affairs. I have now traveled over sixty times to the Far East.
