NexxtShow hires senior VP of national sales

NexxtShow, the service-focused tradeshow partner to association and corporate professionals, has announced that an industry veteran and racecar driver has joined the company as senior vice president of national sales.

Based in Washington, DC, Mike Collins will be responsible for cultivating new and existing client relationships with national associations and professional exhibition management companies in and around the nation’s capital.

“I started my career as a United States Marine where excellence was commonplace. Having that drive and determination instilled in my foundation early on has helped me exceed the expectations of others, build trust and deliver on promises throughout my career,” said Collins. “I am thrilled to be joining a cutting edge company with product innovations and levels of service that are setting new standards in the industry. I look forward to the challenges and rewards that come with being an innovator and leader in the industry.”

Collins spent more than 10 years in the National Sales – Tradeshow Division of Hargrove Inc. and is returning to the industry after a leave of absence to pursue an opportunity as a professional racecar driver and team owner.

“To say Mike is driven is not just a play on words, it’s an understatement,” said Matthew Epstein, president, NexxtShow. “He doesn’t do anything halfway. He has a focus and commitment that will make him a great fit with our team and a trusted advisor to our clients.”
