The Team
Brandon Koenig graduated from the University of Iowa with a business degree in 1986 and started his career with the Chicago Hilton and Towers. He learned the actual meaning of Hospitality from the ground up in the trenches of several large hotels. Brandon acquired his Certified Meeting Professional (CMP) designation in 1991. After working in various executive committee level positions for over a decade, he decided to use his knowledge and expertise to take the corporate and association meeting to the next level, hence “Meeting Solutions” was born.
Erica Koenig graduated from Tulane University Cum Laude with a Bachelors degree in Communication. She started her career at two of the largest advertising agencies in the world, Havas and VMLY&R, where she led multiple client teams and relationships while building client portfolios growing thousands of dollars in revenue for the agencies. She then moved on to take a leadership role at The Times, a hybrid advertising agency & production company, where she continued to build strong client relationships and effective teams while producing content in-house and leading business strategies for some of the most recognizable brands. Erica is also a board member of the oldest Boys & Girls club in Chicago, Off The Street Club where she supports marketing and fundraising efforts.
