Our Executives

Mark Gallo, Owner & COO

Mark founded Pre­miere Events in 1998. The com­pany began as an off­shoot of his first night­club in 1993.  Mark was try­ing to recre­ate some­thing he had expe­ri­enced in Wash­ing­ton DC while attend­ing Georgetown—a scene where every­one could feel wel­come in a mixed, cre­ative enter­tain­ment venue. Mark’s unwa­ver­ing com­mit­ment to the peo­ple he works with drove the company’s growth. As a pas­sion­ate leader and vision­ary, Mark takes pride in know­ing that he and his amaz­ingly eclec­tic crew of employ­ees always share a gen­eros­ity of sprit, a drive for excel­lence, a con­sci­en­tious work ethic, and a set highly trained pro­fes­sional skills.

Elle Nucci, Direc­tor of Operations

Elle Nucci, the Direc­tor of Oper­a­tions for Pre­miere Events, is no stranger to plan­ning effi­cient and suc­cess­ful events. Elle has an exten­sive pro­fes­sional back­ground work­ing in cater­ing, restau­rants, bars and night­clubs in all posi­tions from ser­vice to man­age­ment. Her insight­ful vision, com­bined with her inter­per­sonal skills and no non­sense atti­tude, pro­duces sat­is­fied clients each and every time.

Lind­sey Reynolds, Cor­po­rate Meet­ing & Event Planner

Lind­sey started out in the restau­rant busi­ness, man­ag­ing the cater­ing branch for restau­rant in Atlanta, GA.  After grad­u­at­ing from Emory Uni­ver­sity, she began work­ing for a Des­ti­na­tion Man­age­ment Com­pany doing mostly cor­po­rate meet­ing and event plan­ning.  Since mov­ing to Los Ange­les, she has set­tled into Pre­miere Events as an Event Assis­tant and Manager.

Gar­ret Shank, Event Manager

Garret’s pas­sion for the food and bev­er­age arts began when he started work­ing for New York’s famed B.R. Guest. His next stop was open­ing and man­ag­ing a Mor­gans Hotel Group prop­erty.  He man­aged their entire bev­er­age depart­ment and hosted events such as Super Bowl par­ties, NBA All-Star events, culi­nary fes­ti­vals, and brand launches.  After five years with the Mor­gans and one year of being a small busi­ness owner of a sand­wich fran­chise, Gar­ret knew – with­out a doubt – that his call­ing was events.

Natalie Reynoso, Mar­ket­ing Manager

Natalie has pol­ished her cre­ativ­ity and mar­ket­ing knowl­edge work­ing in fash­ion, music, and the restau­rant indus­try. She earned her degree in Com­mu­ni­ca­tion Stud­ies from Cal­i­for­nia State Uni­ver­sity Long Beach. Com­bin­ing her pas­sion for food, wine and cel­e­bra­tions, Pre­miere Events has cap­tured the heart and enthu­si­asm of this Cal­i­for­nia native.
