The concept behind this series will be to enable our community to interact socially in small groups under Chatham House rules. We’ll kick off each event with a short talk and Q&A with an exceptional entrepreneur and then follow this with social interaction in small breakout groups. With communities becoming increasingly disconnected during lockdown across the UK, we felt it important to encourage entrepreneurs to meet socially albeit online. Our inaugural event of this year and of this type kicks off on 24th February at 9 am with the exceptional Rishi Khosla OBE and with our partner IWG plc, the world’s largest workspace solutions provider. Rishi is a leader and innovator in fintech and the CEO & Co-Founder of the UK’s leading SME-focused challenger bank; OakNorth Bank, which began in 2016. It is focused on lending to fast-growth businesses and entrepreneurs and is one of the UK’s most valuable tech unicorns, valued at $2.8 billion. Prior to this, Rishi was the CEO and co-founder of Copal Amba, a financial research firm that was scaled to 3,000 employees and sold to Moody’s Corporation in 2014. He is also an early-stage investor in Paypal and Indiabulls. We will be joined by Richard Morris, the CEO of IWG UK Plc (formerly Regus). IWG possesses an extraordinary global network of 3,300 locations in 120 countries. Richard will discuss IWG’s exclusive benefits for E2E Members, including free unlimited access to its UK business lounges and a 50% discount available for flexible workplace solutions.

We will also be joined by Jennifer Aaker and Naomi Bagdonas, two Stanford Graduate School of Business professors who’ve just released a book about the importance of the under-leveraged tool of humour in the business world. The talk will explore current challenges, experiences, and ideas over a glass of wine in a unique setting. Lord Bird MBE along with Gordon Roddick of The Body Shop launched The Big Issue in September 1991, the magazine that now appears around the world and whose high standard of reporting has won the magazine a brace of high-profile media awards. Along with his entrepreneurial achievements, Lord Bird has a history more colourful than the Northern Lights, and stories that will have you crying, laughing, but ultimately in complete awe of this larger than life individual, that not only embraces life, but teaches others how to do so. Naomi and Jennifer both teach the popular course Humor: Serious Business at the Stanford Graduate School of Business, where they help some of the world’s most hard-driving, blazer-wearing business minds harness the power of humor to lead. They’ve also written a book on the topic: Humor, Seriously: Why Humor is a Secret Weapon in Business and Life. And the UK version – Humour, Seriously. Naomi and Jennifer share findings from behavioral scientists, advice from world-class comedians, and stories from inspiring business leaders to reveal how humor works and — more importantly — how you can use it to be more effective at work and more joyful in life. SPEAKER BIOS Dr Jennifer Aaker is the General Atlantic Professor at the Stanford Graduate School of Business and a leading expert on how purpose and meaning shape individual choices and how technology can positively impact well-being. Her work has been widely published in leading scientific journals and featured in The Economist, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Atlantic, and Science. A recipient of the Distinguished Scientific Achievement Award, Aaker counts winning a dance-off in the early 1980s among her greatest feats. Naomi Bagdonas is a Lecturer at Stanford’s Graduate School of Business and an Executive Coach. Naomi helps leaders be more innovative, flexible and resilient in the face of change by facilitating interactive sessions for Fortune 100 companies and nonprofits and coaching executives and celebrities for appearances ranging from Saturday Night Live to The Today Show. Formally trained at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre, Naomi now volunteers teaching improv in San Francisco’s county jail. Her dog Maxxy describes her as gullible and full of treats. As
