I have spent nearly three decades across financial markets, finance law, capital deployment and the operational reality of building and running businesses where the gap between a result and its absence is the difference between survival and failure. I began in financial services at Generali before joining Clifford Chance, where I worked on the collapse of one of Europe's largest corporate groups, a multi-billion euro accounting fraud. I went on to administer a €3.3 billion CVC Capital Partners fund, then joined one of the offshore magic circle firms, where I worked on private equity structures, cross-border corporate finance and listing mandates for clients including AXA Real Estate, Santander UK, State Street, Healthpeak Properties, Inc. (formerly, HCP Inc.), Harrison Street and other global financial institutions. My observation of how power, accountability and leverage actually operate has been built from the inside. Through my advisory and venture capital firm, I have built a food venture from start-up to £23 million in revenue and led the post-pandemic transformation of a £70 million pound, among other mandates. I also work with investment firms and senior executives on strategic communications, including investor-facing materials, shareholder letters and public positioning. I am the author of The Re-Alignment Era, a structural analysis of how effort and outcome have become disconnected across modern institutions. I am a long-standing member of the Institute of Directors.

Leila Velez Founder-CEO | Strategic Advisor | Advocate for Women's Economic Equity Leila Velez's story begins not in a boardroom, but at a McDonald's counter. She started working at 14, became the chain's youngest manager in Brazil at 16, and at 19 — with little more than determination and a clear-eyed understanding of who the market was failing — founded Beleza Natural in Rio de Janeiro. What followed was one of the most remarkable entrepreneurial journeys in Latin American history. Beleza Natural became Brazil's largest specialty beauty services chain, purpose-built to serve Black and mixed-race women with curly hair — a community that mainstream beauty institutions had long ignored. Over 26 years, Leila grew the company from zero to $100M+ in annual revenue, 4,000 employees, 120,000 monthly clients, and 55+ locations across five states, including a cosmetics manufacturing operation. She didn't just build a business. She built a new market, a workforce development pipeline, and a cultural movement around dignity, inclusion, and belonging. That mission-driven foundation has shaped everything Leila has done since. She has been a voluntary mentor for women entrepreneurs across Brazil and Latin America, and has been deeply engaged with initiatives at the intersection of gender equity, racial justice, and economic empowerment — including Endeavor, CEO Champions, Brazil’s Women, the Dell Women's Entrepreneur Network, and E&Y's Winning Women program. Her board service reflects the same values. She currently serves on the advisory board of Columbia Business School's ECLA Program (since 2011), the board of COPPEAD Business School at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, and the board of Motriz, an NGO supported by the Lemann Foundation focused on education and social mobility. Past governance roles include the Presidential Advisory Council on Economic and Social Development of Brazil (CDES), the Coca-Cola Social Institute, the ETHOS Institute for Business and Social Responsibility, and Endeavor Brazil. Recognized as a World Economic Forum Young Global Leader (Davos), an Endeavor Entrepreneur, and a Rising Talent by the Women's Global Forum for the Economy and Society (Deauville), Leila has been awarded the Veuve Clicquot Business Women Award and named one of the eight entrepreneurs to follow by Forbes Brazil. She has been featured on the covers of Exame — Brazil's leading business publication — and Americas Quarterly, and has delivered keynotes at TEDx, MIT Sloan, Columbia Business School, the Milken Institute Global Conference, the Women's Forum for the Economy and Society, and YPO, among others. Today, as a Strategic Advisor at Cultivate Advisors, Leila works with founders and CEOs navigating complex growth and organizational challenges. She also serves as investor and strategic advisor to Curl Lab, an AI-powered beauty-tech company continuing the legacy of inclusive innovation she pioneered. Leila brings to every room she enters the rare credibility of someone who built something that mattered — from the ground up, for people the world had overlooked. She is fluent in Portuguese and English, and conversational in Spanish, French, and German.

Brandon Barber speaks at the intersection of sales psychology, offer strategy, and scalable revenue — giving business audiences the rare combination of mindset clarity and tactical execution they need to actually close. He's a keynote speaker and coach who works with leaders, sales teams, business owners and entrepreneurs on one thing: communication that creates certainty. Most people try to sell by convincing. What he teaches is a completely different model — one where you stop pushing and start guiding. Your customer feels so clear, so safe, so certain about the result that buying becomes the obvious next step. He's worked with over a million people across 25 years. When this shift happens, businesses don’t just close more deals — they stop feeling like they’re selling at all. Most experts know their work is valuable. They struggle to make other people see it. Brandon solves that problem at every level — from the psychology behind why buyers say yes, to how offers get positioned and priced to remove hesitation, to how knowledge gets packaged into programs that sell consistently without a constant sales grind. His talks leave audiences with a new understanding of why their messaging hasn't been working and a concrete framework to fix it — whether they're selling services, courses, or high-ticket offers. Brandon speaks on: The buying psychology your competitors don't understand Building offers that convert without lowering your price Messaging that makes the right people self-select and say yes Turning expertise into scalable education that generates revenue on repeat He has worked with corporations, coaches, consultants, and business owners to architect offers and education experiences that attract better leads, convert with less friction, and support long-term growth — not just a single launch.
