EO London President
I joined the EO and the board in 2016 as I wanted to help drive positive changes in the organisation. Since then I worked with 3 different presidents, served on the regional committee, attended GLC in Macau, Frankfurt and Toronto and ELC in Amsterdam. I thoroughly enjoyed the learning and fun experiences and meeting global members through these events. Today I straddle Finance and Strategic Alliances, an excellent fit for the sustainability of Chapter coffers. If anyone wishes to join the board, think of it as being part of the Trustees of an NGO. It teaches you accountability, responsibility and you learn many new skills from your peers on the board.

Learning Chair
I’m in EO since October 2019. The whole idea of joining EO stemmed for me when a fellow EO member told me about the forums, the learning opportunities and an amazing group to discuss all your entrepreneurial and personal challenges. In the years of being a member, I have found the value of EO to be beyond my expectations.
In my day to day life, I am always curious - about everything from meditation to fitness, making money to spending money, war time and peace time, history and future. So I found a great way to contribute and learn at the same time - be the EO learning chair. What better way to quench the learning thirst of mine and my fellow EO members. On a side note, I do run a learning company - so perhaps its part of my DNA!

Membership Chair
I joined Accelerator in 2018 and became a full EO member in 2019. I attended One Level Up in Barcelona and Dublin and enjoyed meeting members from across Europe. In 2020 I completed the coaching to became moderator for my Forum and enjoyed Marcomms training as I joined the board as Communications Chair. My company, Equinet became a Strategic Partner in 2020 in order that we might design and build this website. Access to the Learning and Leadership resource in EO has been a revelation.

Accelerator Chair
Starting with Accelerator in 2019, thanks to EO I scaled my market research agency to enable me to become a full EO member in 2020. I’ve experienced the benefits of accelerator first hand and I’m keen that other ambitious businesses get the most out of it too. Despite most of my membership being through lockdown the learning & networking opportunities have been fantastic. I’m excited to meet new EOA members, help them grow and celebrate their success.

Forum Chair
I joined EO almost a decade ago. Forum transformed my thinking and helped me identify “blind spots" in my life and business. A wise and veteran EO member once told me "You’ll only get out what you put in”. This prompted me to step up to the challenge of serving the community. Today I serve as mentorship chair. I am engaging with the global committee to activate this programme in the UK and build a pool of mentors/mentees to match in a structured, professional and safe environment. I’m also an Accelerator coach and a Professional EOS Implementer where I serve as a coach, facilitator and teacher.

Finance Chair
I am a chartered accountant and joined EO as an Accelerator in 2015 to scale my business. I graduated in 2019. My company broadly focuses on accounting systems, compliance and tax planning for SMEs, and we have experience working in several industries. This range of experience includes clients from trading, retail, investment properties, legal and not-for-profit organisations. I have learned a lot as an EO member and believe this is the time to give back. My primary focus on the board will be a transparent and robust accounting system for the Chapter this year.

Mentorship Chair
I joined in EO in 2018 on an impulse upon meeting a current member by pure chance at a social event. It was the tribe I had been looking for, and joining Forum provided a powerful feeling of coming home. I rapidly discovered that the more I put into EO, the more I got out. So when invited to join the board to launch the Global Student Entrepreneur Awards for London, I leapt at the opportunity. GSEA was a great success. This year I am the Forum Chair and excited to be responsible for enhancing Forum health.

My EO Chair
My favourite thing about EO is the path of leadership. Joining the board, acting as a mentor, involvement with committees, being a moderator and accountability coach has afforded me world-class learning opportunities with highly sought after coaches and trainers. I've travelled to events all over the world and met amazing, fun, intelligent entrepreneurs and created great new friendships. I'm an angel investor, and the training and learning I've gained through roles in EO, including my current board role as Engagement Chair have been invaluable in helping me grow as a person and grow my businesses.
