You may have seen her first at conference, but we’re thrilled to officially introduce Valentina Belova, Event Specialist at FEI Group!

With more than a decade of experience in hospitality and event management, Valentina brings a passion for creating meaningful experiences that connect people, celebrate milestones, and strengthen community.

She joined FEI Group because of our thoughtful culture and commitment to delivering exceptional member experiences, and she’s already making an impact.

Outside of work, Valentina loves exploring the world, meeting new people, and finding inspiration through art, culture, and nature. Whether she’s hiking a trail, visiting a museum, or relaxing by the ocean, she brings curiosity and creativity to everything she does.

Help us welcome Valentina to the FEI family!
