Natalie Ellengold
Senior Account Director
Natalie is a charismatic individual who loves life. Her enthusiasm and passion is infectious inspiring all those who come in contact with her, be they colleagues, clients, friends or family.
For Natalie working at Poisson Rouge is not about a job but a passion for people.
Natalie has highly developed communication skills and an outstanding ability to interact and build rapport with people at all levels and across all nationalities. Her considerable experience in organising, planning, managing and facilitating events - gained globally throughout the last decade - includes dealing with many VIP and high profile delegates such as the Australian Prime Minister John Howard, Hollywood actors Nicole Kidman and Sydney Pollack, Kofi Annan Secretary General to the United Nations and many others.
Past assignments include working at the Australian Mission to the United Nations in New York, where Natalie was responsible for managing Diplomatic and Social events for the Ambassador and the Australian Consulate General.
Prior to joining Poisson Rouge Natalie has spent the last four in the banking sector – initially as an Events Coordinator for the European Real Estate Finance & Securitisation Division at Credit Suisse where Natalie successfully managed all aspects of marketing events, conferences, and client entertainment in locations such as Dubai, Cannes, Brussels, Rome, Paris, Barcelona and London.
Corporate Social Responsibility is a value that resonates strongly with Natalie. Her involvement in her last role with the Graduate Teamwork Challenges at Deutsche Bank enabled her to put this value into action by implementing over 20 projects in local community schools, playgrounds and even a city farm!
Outside of Poisson Rouge Natalie has a love of travelling, entertaining, laughing, keeping in touch with her family who are spread all around the world, theatre, festivals, reading biographies, diving, boxing classes, and being a Kiwi – Come on the All Blacks!
