Becky Jo Schwarz
President and Chief Difference Maker
Myers Briggs- ENTJ aka, Chief, Commander, Fieldmarshal
Becky Jo's proven ability to strategize with exhibitors, increase booth traffic, maximize budgets and lead other talent to be their finest has enabled her to build a solid, world-class client & talent database. It is this track record with clients and equally solid relationships with the industry’s best talent that led her to start CE Talent. Having worked well over a hundred trade shows and events in over 15 countries, on 5 continents, she combined 20+ years of performance (incl. singing for Disney, Universal, NBA, NHL, MLB, and more), leadership (incl. performing nationwide leadership trainings), marketing experience and uncompromising integrity (personal and professional) to help make CE Talent and all those associated with the company the best they can be. Though Becky Jo considers herself a work-a-frolic, being that she frolics around the world and loves it, she is grateful to come home to her amazing husband Tom and their two German Indian dogs, Tonka and Tala (which are essentially hypoallergenic German Shepherds). To this day Becky Jo still works shows so she can mentor talent and make sure the match making she does with talent and clients is always exceeding expectations.
Tom Schwarz
Vice President & Protector of Finance
Myers Briggs- INFJ aka Protector, Councelor, Advocate
Tom comes to CE Talent with him a diverse knowledge and understanding not only of financial responsibility but proper business management as well. His experience started out at are early age working in the residential construction market and progressed to a career with one of the nation’s leading prime specialty subcontractors which lasted over 20 years. In May of 2015 Tom decided to leave his high stress, high stakes position as a Senior Estimator to pursue an opportunity working with CE Talent where making a difference has always been a higher priority than making huge profits. During his time there he helped put in place budget, estimate, and even successfully helped manage multiple multi-million dollar projects. In 2012 Tom served as treasurer when the overall financial position of the church was at an all-time low but was able to come away from the experience with not only a balanced budget for the church but a reinforced picture of what it means to be fiscally responsible! His love for his beautiful bride Mrs. Becky Jo Schwarz is rivaled only by his love for his dogs Tonka & Tala, family, and don't forget, his passion for his KTM and off-road motorcycle riding!

And eager and willing to learn the product marketing material to help qualify prospects from the aisle, to make sure we only spent time on likely targets.
