Senior Account Manager, Tempest
Tori DeMarco
When Account Manager Tori DeMarco joined Tempest in August of 2021, she brought with her five years of CVB-based experience in communications, event planning, promotions, partnerships, and networking — plus a deep love for travel. As a member of the account services team, she builds and fosters partnerships with DMO clients, manages projects within internal departments and reports on the impact of Tempest’s efforts. She also assists in the planning of the annual Tourism Academy conference.
Tori grew up in the Roxborough neighborhood of Philadelphia and earned her degree in communications studies from West Chester University. She now lives with her husband in Wayne, a charming town in Philadelphia's "Main Line." When she’s not running, hiking, trying new restaurants or entertaining friends, Tori is likely embracing her creative side through photography, art or her love of fashion. You’ll also find her dancing along to the Tempest band when they take the stage.
Tori’s travel tip: Wherever you’re going, always have snacks on hand. A sweet-salty combo of pretzels and peanut M&Ms always hits the spot.
