HEATHER KINKADE

has spent years bringing people together through events, partnerships and long-standing relationships. Known throughout the Hudson Valley for her highly personal approach, she has built a reputation for creating memorable experiences and making connections that extend far beyond initial introductions.

Heather’s journey began in her teens at a private golf club, where she discovered an early appreciation for event planning and building relationships through service and hospitality. She quickly advanced and was later recruited by a renowned event company to lead sales and marketing, helping significantly grow the event business and strengthen its presence in the community. She continued to build on her success by joining Oz Hospitality Group. Serving as an Account Executive for both organizations, she managed an extensive portfolio of accounts and continued to build client relationships. At Oz, she went on to assume greater leadership responsibilities, overseeing day-to-day operations and managing events across multiple venues and properties from Palm Beach to New York City.

Heather’s ability to build trusted relationships while balancing production and operational demands paved the way for her to venture out on her own, opening new opportunities beyond event planning. Organizations continue to seek her expertise to optimize sales operations, improve efficiency and drive revenue growth. Her extensive work with startup venues has also given her firsthand experience developing the processes and operational foundation that help sustain success from the ground up. Throughout her career, Heather has developed a unique perspective on both the experiential and operational sides of business, one that continues to influence her work today.

What distinguishes Heather is not just what she does, but how she does it. She remains closely involved from the earliest conversations through execution, providing the attention, accessibility and stewardship that have become hallmarks of her work. In every endeavor, from producing events and planning weddings to building collaborative relationships or introducing curated collections to new audiences, her focus remains the same: bringing the right people together and creating opportunities that wouldn’t otherwise exist.

A different perspective.

Heather Kinkade brings more than expertise. She brings insight and an instinct for opening doors and creating opportunity.
