My First Year in Chartwell's London Office – Global Insights in a Dynamic World
I joined Chartwell Speakers as a Managing Agent in February 2025, following several years working across talent representation and strategic partnerships. Since joining the business, I’ve had the opportunity to work with an exceptional range of speakers spanning leadership, geopolitics, innovation, science, and high performance.
What I enjoy most about Chartwell is the breadth of perspectives our speakers bring to clients around the world. Whether advising global businesses on leadership and resilience, exploring the future of technology and AI, or helping audiences make sense of an increasingly complex geopolitical landscape, every engagement feels genuinely impactful.
Over the past year, I have organised speaking engagements across sectors including finance, technology, healthcare, energy, professional services, and sport, delivering events throughout Europe, the Middle East, and the United Kingdom.
