MANAGING PARTNER

With over 15 years of experience in the hospitality industry, Ngan has built her career from the ground up—working in every role across every type of establishment, from mom-and-pop restaurants and sports bars to boutique hotels, Michelin chef–owned concepts, and exclusive private clubs serving CEOs, political figures, and billionaires.

Events are her specialty. Ngan has produced a wide range of experiences—from engagement parties and corporate happy hours to Fortune 500 activations, full-scale weddings, and political events such as welcome receptions for national conventions. No matter the occasion, her approach is grounded in three core values: operational efficiency, a strong sense of urgency, and a deep appreciation for visual beauty. These principles inform every aspect of her work—from logistics and flow to atmosphere and design.

Most recently, she launched and managed the events department for a James Beard Award–winning restaurateur, where her strategic leadership helped generate 50–57% of the business’s total sales within just the first two months.

As Managing Partner of Copa Hospitality, Ngan brings a rare blend of hands-on experience, creative vision, and operational excellence to help clients produce exceptional events and unlock new levels of success.
