Meet Ria

At the heart of Relationship Arc Strategies is its founder, Ria Martinson, whose career has been defined by one guiding belief: authentic, intentional relationships drive lasting impact.

Ria began her journey in the luxury hotel industry, mastering the art of high-touch service, seamless execution, and experiences that leave lasting impressions. She later brought that expertise to the nonprofit sector, where she has spent more than a decade raising millions of dollars for mission-driven organizations. From orchestrating productions for national leaders to leading fundraising events that scaled giving fivefold, Ria has built a reputation as a strategist who knows how to align vision, people, and execution.

Relationship Arc Strategies, an evolution of Seva Events, founded in 2013, is the culmination of that experience. It brings the power of large-scale productions into more curated, intentional spaces. Whether it’s setting the table for a private meeting of two or designing a gathering of hundreds, Ria’s focus is on ensuring that every seat is filled with purpose, value, and opportunity.

What sets Ria apart is her ability to see both the big picture and the human detail: creating efficient strategies that free CEOs and principals to focus on meaningful connections, while also orchestrating the touches that make every interaction unforgettable. With authenticity and intentionality at the core, Relationship Arc Strategies helps leaders and organizations cultivate the relationships that turn visions into reality.
