Joining the team is Executive Director of Client Services Whitney Wright, Warehouse Lead & Production Specialist Aaron Laxdal, and Systems Engineer Jeremy Germain.
The trio of hires brings a diverse array of talents and years of experience in the event production industry, further solidifying Mobile Pro’s position as a leading provider of end-to-end event solutions.

Whitney Wright
Mobile Pro is thrilled to announce that Whitney Wright has joined its dynamic leadership team. Bringing her vast experience from Lincoln Institute of Land Policy, where she served as an Event Manager planning and executing national and global events, Whitney will be a key asset to Mobile Pro as the first point of contact for new clients.
Whitney’s responsibilities at Mobile Pro include working closely with potential clients, expertly translating their visions for their events into executable plans, and ensuring a smooth process from initial estimates through to contract signing. Beyond her role as client liaison, Whitney will also lead the marketing efforts for the organization and act as the crucial bridge between the staff and the company’s owner, ensuring day-to-day operations run seamlessly.
Whitney recently returned to Fargo after several years in Arizona, where she not only managed events nationally and globally but also developed a strong partnership with Mobile Pro as a strategic production ally. She brings with her cherished relationships and insights from her collaboration with Mobile Pro’s team, enhancing the existing synergy and camaraderie within the company.
In Whitney’s own words, “Mobile Pro’s commitment to excellence and customer service surpasses what I’ve seen from other production companies around the US. I knew the only place I wanted to be upon moving back to Fargo was Mobile Pro.”
When not pouring her energy into orchestrating unforgettable events, Whitney enjoys exploring the world with her husband, refining her skills on the tennis court and the golf course, and engaging in various activities that bring her joy and relaxation. This balanced lifestyle, rich in exploration, connection, and rejuvenation, only amplifies her passion for creating memorable experiences at Mobile Pro.
