Our Leadership Team

Donna’s attention to detail, love of design, and ability to create great experiences for others led her to a career in events.

Her experience in the event industry has been in both the corporate and hospitality worlds. She has managed multiple large scale events including Olympic hospitality programs, World Cup events, Final Four, Super Bowl, as well as corporate meetings and events all over the world. In 2006, she decided to join Pineapple Planet with her husband, Scott, and they never looked back.

When they’re not planning or creating, you can find Donna and Scott in Oregon spending time with their two daughters and attending Oregon State sporting events. Go Beavs!

Scott graduated from San Francisco State University with a degree in film studies. In 2004 he started Pineapple Planet Productions and helped create award winning hospitality suites at the 2004 Summer Olympic Games and 2006 World Cup in Germany.

He has always had a love for creating dynamic settings, which led him into graphic, lighting, and scenic production. Scott enjoys learning about the latest technology and incorporating this into client’s events.

When Scott isn’t in Oregon with Donna and their daughters, you can find him walking their beloved shih tzu, Penny.

Nitsa’s love of entertaining and cooking led her to the California Culinary Academy in San Francisco, where she graduated in 1999.

Nitsa’s hospitality experience began as culinary staff at the renowned Ritz Carlton San Francisco. She has owned her own catering company, managed multiple weddings and worked as a floral designer. Most recently she worked as Director of Hospitality and Events at Jordan Winery where she managed and styled all of their events and created their floral department.

When not directing events, you can find Nitsa at the gym or foraging for treasures!

Nitsa and her husband live in Windsor with their son Petros.
