About The Mollie Plotkin Group
Let me Introduce Myself & My Team
My name is Mollie Plotkin. I love connecting people and that’s how this keynote speaker agency story begins.
Our team’s purpose is to help audiences grow both personally and professionally by bringing inspiring, educational, and meaningful stories to events worldwide.
Our Team
Who we are and what we love to do (bonus: now you know who you’re talking to on the other end of the phone):

When not sitting outside in business attire having my picture taken, I spend a large part of my day speaking to people and learning about who they are, what they do, and how we can work together.
Getting to know my speakers, listening to their stories, and developing ways to help them find their right audience is what makes me happy. We are all storytellers. And I’m lucky enough to be inspired by MPG Storytellers each and every day.

Derek is our resident social media and marketing expert!
After interning with the Mollie Plotkin Group during his final semester of college, he joined the team as Content Marketing Manager. Outside of work, Derek is a fantasy football addict and die-hard Pittsburgh Steelers fan.
Fun fact, he used to be trained by Steeler safety Minkah Fitzpatrick’s father! He also recently became an uncle and godfather. Whatever the task, Derek is extremely excited to support MPG’s success in any way he can!

We learn a lot from our keynote speakers (want to stay motivated at work everyday? Representing motivational speakers will do just that). But we also learn a lot from our interns. Villanova University, Penn State, University of Michigan, and University of Delaware are just a few of the schools we proudly work with. Thank you to all our interns who teach all of us at MPG each and every day. We are lucky to have you as our partners in success.
We have established, personal connections with our keynote speakers, performers, and entertainers. When you work with MPG, you’re joining a network of trusted professionals in the live events industry. Here, our operations manager Nic Pirhalla celebrates another sold-out night of David Kwong’s 2023 show The Enigmatist at the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C.
