EVENT OPERATIONS · IT / EN / ES
Large-scale events. Real-time execution. Critical problem solving.
If you're working on a complex event, let's talk.
OPERATIONAL CONTEXTS
SOCIAL PROOF
“Andreas has been a consistent presence in large-scale event operations at Kappa FuturFestival since 2015. His reliability, technical competence, and ability to operate effectively in high-pressure environments make a tangible difference on the ground.”
“Andreas is one of those rare operators who understands both the system and the room. At elrow, operational complexity is part of the concept — and he handles it without making it anyone else's problem. I trust him on the ground.”
“Andreas has always demonstrated great operational capability, managing tasks with organisation, speed, and attention to detail during Monegros Desert Festival operations. He stood out for his reliability and commitment: when something was in his hands, you knew it would be resolved correctly and on time, even during the most demanding moments.”
SERVICES
Events run smoothly until something breaks. That's when I step in.
Operational leadership for large-scale events where reliability, coordination, and control are non-negotiable. I take responsibility for operations when reliability is non-negotiable.
Real-time operational presence during events. I manage issues as they happen, take decisions under pressure, and maintain stability when things move fast. I make decisions in real time to keep operations under control.
I work on systems that must perform in real time under pressure.

REACH
300+ events across 20+ countries.
10 years operating in high-complexity environments.
Repeated exposure to high-pressure environments across different countries and systems.
SELECTED WORK
110,000 attendees
One of the largest concerts in Italy, with zero margin for error.
Operational systems oversight — payment systems, access control, and crowd flow management at maximum capacity.
Seamless execution at full capacity. All systems performed without interruption across the entire event cycle. No operational failures recorded.
10 editions — 3 days — 100,000+ attendees
A decade-long partnership with one of Europe's most respected electronic music festivals, ranked 7th best in the world.
End-to-end operational management across all editions. Scaled systems, teams, and processes alongside the festival's growth from a mid-size event to a world-class production.
Sustained operational excellence across a decade of growth. Systems and processes evolved with the festival, maintaining reliability at every scale. Revenue and capacity scaled dramatically with zero degradation in operational quality.
70,000 attendees — 22 hours
A 22-hour continuous event in a remote, high-complexity environment.
End-to-end operational coordination across distributed stages, services, and vendor systems. Full control over logistics in an environment where infrastructure is temporary and conditions are extreme.
Operations remained stable throughout the full 22-hour cycle with no critical disruptions. Coordination held under extreme environmental and logistical pressure.
4 days — multi-venue — near 24h — 160,000 total
Four days of near-continuous operations across multiple venues with 160,000 total attendees.
Operational coordination across multiple venues and near-continuous scheduling. Systems management, crowd flow, and real-time issue resolution at scale.
Uninterrupted operations across four days and multiple venues. All critical systems maintained full performance. No operational disruptions despite scale and complexity.
33,000 attendees/day — 2 days
Two consecutive days of high-density operations with 33,000 attendees per day.
Onsite operations lead. Real-time decision-making across high-density zones, vendor coordination, and crowd flow control under sustained pressure.
Controlled, stable environment maintained across both days despite extreme density conditions. No escalations or critical incidents.
High-volume F&B — premium hospitality
Premium hospitality operations under high-volume conditions at the Montmeló circuit.
Operational management of hospitality and food & beverage areas. Payment system deployment and vendor coordination under premium service expectations.
Premium service standards maintained under high-volume conditions. Payment and service flow operated without interruption.
Full season — recurring operations
Recurring high-volume operations across an entire football season.
Implementation and management of cashless payment systems integrated with F&B vendor operations. Built a repeatable operational framework for match days.
Reliable, consistent operational framework delivering stable results across the full season. Systems held under recurring high-pressure conditions.

WHEN TO CALL
When an event scales beyond the original plan
When operational complexity increases and control is at risk
When systems — payments, access, flows — must work seamlessly under pressure
When issues arise during execution and decisions can't wait
When control needs to be re-established quickly
ABOUT
I focus on execution, not theory. Years of work in high-pressure, large-scale event environments — from festivals to stadiums, from 8,000 to 160,000 people. The common thread is making decisions under pressure, in real time, when the cost of inaction is higher than the cost of being wrong. I anticipate failures before they happen and build operational systems that hold when everything else is moving. The work is not about planning on paper — it's about control on the ground.
