Rafael Musni
Restaurant Coordinator
Rafael Musni began working on events in 1999 and first made contact with W&A during the San Francisco International Film Festival of that year. At the time, W&A was one of several event companies that he worked with on live event production but quickly became the only event producer he would work for. Rafael has had the pleasure to execute events from New York to Mexico City and the Bohemian Club in the Redwoods. He loves the excitement that only comes with producing live events as well as the engaging people he interacts with.
Over the years, Rafael has worked for many event companies and some very fine organizations, but W&A remains one company he recommends to those looking for spectacular event production. Rafael notes the centrality of care and concern for the life of the event, the guest and the client during each production meeting. He says that it is one of the reasons he has been able to maintain such close vendor relationships year after year.
Since working for the company, Rafael has had the opportunity to take a partnership with a San Francisco fine art gallery. This has allowed him to make what he feels is a permanent contribution to the community by selling art to museums and individual buyers. However, he will never lose his love for the live event and working with hundreds, even thousands of people at a time.

Neil Figurelli
Vice-President
In 1988, Neil traveled up from Santa Cruz where he was an elementary school art teacher, owner of Art Studio 119 and a party promoter to volunteer at the AIDS Emergency Fund Christmas Eve Dinner. It was there that he first met Lynne Winslow, who happened to also be one of the founders of the Dinner, and he has never looked back. Today, Neil is the Chair of the Annual Christmas Eve Dinner, and holds a position on the AEF/BCEF Board of Directors. Neil has worked at W&A since 1994 and over the years his most favorite events to produce have become TNDC's Celebrity Pool Toss, San Francisco Film Festival, Academy of Friends Gala, New America Media Awards and any event that benefits the Glide Foundation. San Francisco is his home, but producing events out of town fulfills his love for hotels.
