Victoria L. Ribeiro
Vice President and Exhibit Director
Victoria is a focus-driven professional with over 10 years of multifaceted experience in production and marketing. She spent her early years in New Jersey, her teen years in Pennsylvania and considers herself an East Coast girl even though her career led her to the the Las Vegas desert early in her twenties. A graduate of The Pennsylvania State University, Victoria began her career as a producer of live talk television programs in the Las Vegas market. After dabbling in the marketing of the local TV station where she produced, she expanded into the rapidly growing Las Vegas stage entertainment arena and quickly learned the ropes of the enormous grass roots marketing circuit formed in the early 2000’s. Over the course of her career she performed a diverse range of responsibilities including stage management, publicity, event planning, marketing, media buying, corporate re-branding, office management, personnel management, client relations and held overall profit/loss accountabilities for three major shows and two exhibitions on the Las Vegas strip.
Most recently Victoria served nearly three years as the Director of Marketing for the permanent installations of Bodies...The Exhibition and Titanic: The Artifact Exhibitions for Premier Exhibitions at the Luxor Hotel & Casino which enjoyed increased exposure in the marketplace, decreased spending and significantly enhanced overall operational profitability during her tenure. Victoria is thrilled to find herself in the exciting world of museums and exhibitions on a more global level now and enjoys meeting the diverse group of creative professionals that make up the industry. In her spare time, Victoria volunteers on the Las Vegas Natural History Museum Marketing Committee and is working on the first annual Las Vegas Science Festival scheduled for the Spring of 2011.
