keynote speaker, co-founder & Event HOST encouraging more meaningful connection


some of the brands I’ve worked with…

  • speaker & Event Host

    I deliver talks, host events and consult brands to transform how we connect, network and build more meaningful relationships with our clients and each other. My aim is to bring people together to spark ideas by creating thought-provoking experiences, fireside chats and salon dinners for leaders and entrepreneurs.

  • PROJECTS

    Combining my experience within events and luxury hospitality with psychology and personal growth, each project focuses on creating experiences that facilitate connection and get people thinking differently - whether that’s in the form of events, retreats, talks or workshops

  • STRATEGY & CONSULTANCY

    I offer strategy sessions and 1-1 consultancy for businesses and entrepreneurs. I support them to develop new revenue streams and grow their business by focusing on business development strategy, client relations, partnerships and events strategy.

Hi, I'm Ellie,

TEDx Speaker, Connector, Event Host & Co-founder of Home of Connection. Building Silent Break, a Digital Detox Hotel & Retreat.

I believe we need to transform how we build meaningful connection. That's why I spend my time delivering talks, consulting businesses and creating experiences to bring people together to spark curiosity, creativity and deeper conversation.

Having developed my career in business strategy within luxury hospitality and events over the past decade, everything has been about how we can build better relationships with our clients, teams and each other.

I believe connection is the key to solving some of our biggest problems and after experiencing burnout, I also create workshops, fireside chats and networking evenings for leaders and entrepreneurs focused on self discovery and personal growth.
