Director, People Relations & DE&I, Virgin Media O2. A conversation exploring creativity, emotional intelligence and the role of feminine perspective in shaping culture and leadership.

Artists show the modern leader: intuitive, precise, without a map.

It starts as a series of evenings, with music carrying these meanings to inspire millions.

Will you join us?

10 June at 6:00 PM
World Heart Beat, London, SW11 7BD

After emigrating and starting over with four daughters, I saw how much women’s community matters.
Jazzylea is a place to arrive without masks: music, stories, and depth.
I would love you to be there.

Is it a conference?

No. It is not a conference, and it is not a networking event dressed up as culture. It is one evening built around live performances, real stories and curated conversation, with women from business, culture and creative industries.

Is it paid?

Your seat on 10 June is covered by a corporate partner, so there is no fee for you to pay and no budget line to find. The invitation is for your presence, attention and voice.

How is it funded?

Jazzylea is funded by partners and patrons who believe culture can create change. Some support the artists, some help future evenings happen, and some grow into long-term patronage. It can begin small. Every role matters.

Why now?

The women carrying our institutions are not being heard at the level they deserve.
Every leader I speak to is searching for new ways to change that: fresher rooms, sharper conversations, formats that match what these women already carry.

How does it work?

You come, you listen, you talk, you leave with the names of the women you wanted to meet. Live jazz opens the room. No panel obligation, no follow-up commitment.

Why jazz?

I have spent twenty years inside it. The women on stage do in music what the women in the room do in their work: improvise real decisions in real time, without a script.
And nothing else holds a room of strangers across difference the way live jazz does.

Who will be there?

135 women in central London: corporate leaders, founders, investors, artists.
My job in the room is to know every name, know what each woman is carrying, and make the introductions that matter.

Why me?

You hold more than your title. You navigate what was not built for you. Someone you trust passed your name forward because they could see that, and so can I.

What happens after this evening?

10 June is the first of three evenings this year: Spark in June, an autumn evening, a winter salon.
It culminates in a festival at KOKO London in 2027 with four headline artists.
Every evening is filmed for a documentary running through 2026 and beyond.

Is it feasible?

Yes. Twenty years producing the largest jazz festival in Eastern Europe: half a million tickets sold across thirty countries. The Black Eyed Peas, Jamie Cullum, The Cinematic Orchestra, Michael Kiwanuka.
We have produced at KOKO, O2 Indigo, Royal Academy of Music, Sadler's Wells, Peacock Theatre, World Heart Beat Music Academy, Bloomsbury Theatre, Steel Yard.
We have worked with Visa, Barclays, HSBC, Coutts, BP, Revolut, Warner Chappell Music.

What is expected of me?

No panel obligation, no follow-up commitment, no formal next step. You come, you listen, you talk, you leave.
If the evening resonates, share it with one woman whose presence in the room would change it.
