Cara Vanderhook

Cruise down South Figueroa in the City of Angels and you’ll find Crypto.com Arena, Microsoft Theater, and L.A. LIVE – a mecca of entertainment in Los Angeles. Join us as we catch up with Cara Vanderhook, Vice President of Marketing and Communications, and learn all about the happenings of a district that houses four professional teams, the largest stage in California, and some of the biggest awards shows. Cara walks us through what makes the venues so iconic, and how they continue to compete and innovate in a dense entertainment market – where competition is not only other venues, but the beach and beautiful weather. She tells us about her path to her current role, some of the best career advice she’s received, and her approach to advancing her own career while supporting the employees under her. This is an excellent episode for people looking to take the leap and chase that amazing dream job. Cara is a perfect example of a music and sports fan that is now working with the teams and properties she grew up infatuated with.Cara Vanderhook: Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | LinkedInCrypto.com Arena: Facebook | Twitter | InstagramMicrosoft Theater: Facebook | Twitter | InstagramL.A.
