1. Can you tell us a little about Look Left and what made you start it?

Look Left is a collective. We bring together absolutely brilliant event professionals from all walks of the industry - pulling the right ones in for each brief to deliver a premium, bespoke experience for our clients. We are collaborative and transparent.

After a long time in the industry I realised that there is a different way of doing things, other than the traditional agency set-up. A way that might work better for the client and for the agency.

2. WHO IS AN INSPIRATIONAL WOMAN IN YOUR LIFE AND WHY?

My mum. She is always able to make the most out of any situation and makes everyone around her smile.

3. What have been some of the biggest struggles AND triumphs as a woman in business?

Working in the Middle East was a learning curve. It’s a different culture from what I was used to working in the UK and Europe. It taught me so much. Starting a business during a global pandemic has also been interesting. Being agile and adaptable has been crucial.

4.THIS YEAR’S THEME FOR INTERNATIONAL WOMAN’S DAY IS #BREAKTHEBAIS - WHAT BIAS ARE YOU CHOOSING TO BREAK?

Look Left was set up with the mindset to #breakthebias that working flexibly isn't productive for business.

 

With women making up 80% of the workers in the event industry, that's a lot of talent. More often than not, they need the ability to be able to balance their work, and home life better.

 

I truly believe that giving women the option to work remotely benefits everyone - our clients, communities, and our Collective. Look Left helps to deliver that for the women (and men) that work with us, breaking the biases that so many women feel about work-life balance.

5. WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE PIECE FROM MATILDE JEWELLERY AND WHY?

I can’t choose just one! My favourite ring is the T Ring. Delicate yet a statement piece. The Mosaic Earrings are simply stunning!
