Kelly English is an accomplished experiential events professional with a dynamic career spanning adventure travel, television production, and corporate event planning. She spent 10 seasons working on the hit TV show Survivor, honing her logistical expertise in high-pressure environments. For 18 years, she led global adventure trips with Backroads, guiding groups through unforgettable journeys.

In 2009, in the heart of the recession, Kelly founded Explore California, now Out of Office Events, a premier events company focused on crafting meaningful, customized experiences. She has worked with both private clients and large corporations, organizing everything from intimate offsites to expansive 1,000-person corporate retreats. Her passion lies in enabling genuine shared experiences while steering clear of forced team-building clichés.

Beyond her professional life, Kelly is an accomplished endurance athlete, having completed over 30 full marathons, climbed mountains across the globe, and cycled through some of the world’s most remote regions. She has even served as the Commodore of a Yacht Club—despite her modest sailing expertise.

Kelly’s true passion is curating itineraries that showcase the very best a destination has to offer, creating moments of discovery and connection for every group she works with.
