We are thrilled to welcome Joanna Potts to the SAGE Virtual Staffing team as our newest Event Architect, based between Nashville, TN and Las Vegas, NV. With over 22 years of experience in the hospitality industry, Joanna brings deep expertise in catering and event execution, a love for immersive experiences, and a passion for connecting with people from all walks of life.
Joanna has built a formidable career across some of the most respected names in the luxury hospitality world. From The Ritz-Carlton, Buckhead to Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino, she has delivered excellence at every turn—executing high-impact experiences like the 2024 Google annual conference and VIP activations for Super Bowl LVIII. Her work consistently generates multi-million-dollar revenue while elevating client satisfaction.
What sets Joanna apart isn’t just her résumé—though it’s impressive. It’s her philosophy. She approaches each event with precision, integrity, and a mission to exceed expectations, allowing clients to be fully present and stress-free. She’s a master of strategy, a self-proclaimed “Excel spreadsheet junkie,” and someone who believes in working smart—by leading with honesty and delivering results on time.
When asked what inspired her to join SAGE, Joanna shared:
“SAGE was founded by someone I had the privilege of working with for years and deeply respect. GiGi poured her experience, passion, and exceptional intelligence into building a company that’s redefining the event planning industry. Her dedication to event management is matched only by her unwavering advocacy for human and animal rights.”
Joanna hopes to contribute not just her experience, but also her strong work ethic and commitment to excellence, cultivated through years with elite hospitality brands. Her passion for travel, cultural exploration, and curating memorable guest experiences makes her a natural fit for SAGE’s global vision.
When she’s not planning unforgettable events, you can find Joanna indulging her love for food, wine, animals, and travel—ideally all at once. A fun fact? She admits she’s surprisingly shy in certain situations, despite being a powerhouse in the boardroom and ballroom alike.
As she joins our team, Joanna is eager to grow in her tech proficiency and continue evolving alongside the ever-changing demands of our industry. And if she could outsource one thing forever? Social media marketing—because she’d rather be behind the scenes creating magic than posting about it.
Welcome to the team, Joanna! We’re honored to have your brilliance, warmth, and leadership guiding our clients’ most important moments.
