Scarlino Speaker Strategies

Scarlino Speaker Strategies is a boutique executive speaker program management agency founded in 2016 by Amy Scarlino. The firm specializes in developing and executing strategic speaker programs for corporate clients, helping organizations secure high-value speaking opportunities at industry conferences and events. The agency operates on the principle that executive visibility should be a proactive, strategically planned initiative rather than a reactive afterthought, and it works to ensure that clients invest their time and resources in conferences that deliver meaningful business impact.

With more than 25 years of combined experience in the conference and executive visibility industry, the team brings deep institutional knowledge and an extensive network of industry contacts. Prior to founding the agency, Amy Scarlino served as President and CEO of The Catchpole Corporation, where she managed corporate speaker programs for major enterprises including VMware, PBS, AOL, Trend Micro, Microsoft, BASF, UPS, and The Weather Channel. This background gives the agency a proven track record with Fortune 500 and globally recognized brands across technology, media, logistics, and other sectors.

The agency's service model is built around three core commitments: delivering the highest quality of customized service to every client, responding to all requests within a 48-hour window, and providing candid, experience-based feedback. These principles distinguish the firm from larger, less personalized agencies and position it as a trusted partner for senior executives seeking to build thought leadership profiles.

Scarlino Speaker Strategies supports clients throughout the full lifecycle of a speaker program, from identifying relevant conferences and evaluating their strategic fit, to securing speaking slots and managing the logistical and strategic elements that make executive appearances successful. The agency navigates a crowded conference landscape — where dozens of events occur weekly — to pinpoint opportunities that align with each client's business objectives and target audiences.

The team includes Account Director Gail Davis, who has been managing corporate speaker programs since 2006 and has worked with major technology and enterprise companies such as Cisco, Dell, Hitachi Vantara, SAP, and Xerox. Her background spans corporate communications, higher education, and media relations, adding further breadth to the agency's service capabilities.

Scarlino Speaker Strategies serves clients primarily in the B2B technology, media, and enterprise sectors, though its conference industry relationships and methodology are applicable across industries. The agency is particularly well-suited for organizations looking to establish or elevate the public profiles of C-suite executives through curated conference speaking engagements and thought leadership strategies.
