January 2008

Here at Destination Nashville, we truly enjoy and appreciate meeting and working with some of the country’s finest professional meeting planners; but there is always that one planner who comes along and becomes more than our valued customer.  Tom Tolve, CMP, is just that planner who endeared himself to our team and sparked our creative talents to their fullest! 

Tom held meeting planning positions with two of the nation’s most prestigious pharmaceutical companies - Warner Lambert and Bristol-Myers Squibb – before moving to Novo Nordisk where he currently holds the position of Manager of Meeting Operations. While at Novo Nordisk Tom has developed and implemented numerous polices and standard operational procedures as well as led the strategic planning of all national sales meetings, incentive trips and high-level events.  Clearly an area of strength for Tom, he has been an integral part of managing Novo Nordisk’s unprecedented growth over the past 5 years. 

Tom’s theatrical and musical background combined with innate organizational skills and attention to the smallest detail inspired Destination Nashville’s creative team to design events welcoming Novo Nordisk to Nashville in true Music City Style!  Tom’s positive personality and deep appreciation for the arts made such an impression upon our staff – not to mention – his fun loving attitude and jovial sense of humor which garnered him the title of “client we have had the most fun with to date”! 

Thank you, Tom, for your business and friendship.  We anxiously look forward to your return to Music City!
