Scope of Experience
Michelle DeSanti is Vice President, Program Management for NAI Global and responsible for three core areas of company business, including corporate events (internal and public-facing), member marketing and broker-to-broker transactions. In addition, she serves as the office manager of the New York City office.
The greatest value she adds to the company are her organizational skills, attention to detail, collaborating with the marketing and operations teams and the fact that she deeply cares about her job and co-workers.
