Coming from the service-oriented hotel business, Adrienne was inspired to launch a meeting planning company that put service and support at the forefront. After seeing the lifesaving results her Dad experienced having been enrolled in a trial for Parkinson’s Disease, she decided that the focus of the company should be dedicated to supporting clinical trials. Adrienne decided to use her education, expertise and excellent reputation to contribute to the clinical trial space by supporting investigator and advisory board meetings which are integral to developing new medications – and Scarritt Group was born.
Starting out of her home 21 years ago, Adrienne has led her incredible team to international success and industry esteem, with service at the core of everything they do. Scarritt Group has organized and operated thousands of successful meetings, provides unmatched customer service and employs 65+ people worldwide.
Everyone at Scarritt shares the same dream of contributing to humanity in their own small way by assisting with the success of the investigator meeting and making a difference to improve the patients experience in a clinical study, through Scarritt’s portfolio of services. This passion has led to Scarritt’s success without much advertising or marketing efforts, relying mostly on referrals, repeat business and a really great team.
While growing the company beyond even her own expectations, Adrienne has also reached another inspirational goal of creating jobs – careers with actual advancement opportunities. She’s also surrounded herself with experienced staff, actual experts and influential mentors – people who’ve also helped her develop one of the best virtual platforms in the business, pivoting when the market changes and repurposing Scarritt team members to best support client needs.
Whether it’s new clients looking for meeting services or a virtual conference center, or existing clients who are restarting their research in the “new normal” of today’s digital world, many of the world’s best companies and biggest names have turned to Scarritt Group for both live meetings and state-of-the-art virtual solutions based on their experience, innovation, service and a capable team always willing to go above and beyond.
Aside from her dedication to work and her community, Adrienne loves spending any free time with her two children, helping with schoolwork and art projects, hiking the local mountain paths, fishing and one of her biggest passions – enjoying time with her wonderful animals: two dogs, three cats, plus turtles, snakes, geckos, fish and even a frog.
Whether Adrienne is staying up late to solve a work issue, helping a wounded animal while hiking, or working with her beautiful children to create original art, her passion for service, compassion for others and considerable respect for all living beings is what separates Adrienne from typical CEOs and makes Scarritt Group truly stand out in the event industry. It’s more than her career or her company…it’s her legacy.
