Meet the CXO Portals Team – Charmaine Baker, CEO

I met my business partner Glenn Hapgood over a decade ago in a previous company when he accidentally sat in my seat.  We hit it off immediately – a 6ft Welshman and 5ft2 English girl with the same sense of humour, work ethic and passion to succeed.  Our differing personality traits are absolutely the reason as to why our business partnership has been successful so far – chalk and cheese!

Having worked a lot of our careers in the events and sales industry both myself and Glenn were keen to go it alone, our way.  I am incredibly people orientated and love engaging with our clients and am lucky to have sustained so many fantastic relationships globally.  Hosting an event is incredibly rewarding, and the interesting people and conversations I’ve been a part of make the events space all the more enjoyable.

Field hockey is my passion. I’ve played since school which brings out my incredibly competitive side but I also love reading a good Thriller and walking my two rescue dogs Mack (GSD/Husky) and Winnie (Greyador).  My dream one day is to open a rescue home for dogs and I’ve no doubt the success of CXO Portals will aid this to become a reality.
