Build. Exit. Build Again.

​Lessons in Leadership, Legacy, Exiting and Starting Over — with Jacqueline O'Donovan, OBE.

​Join us for an inspiring and candid conversation with serial entrepreneur and investor Jacqueline O’Donovan, OBE, as she shares the powerful story of her entrepreneurial journey.

​From scaling a family business into an award-winning industry leader with over £20 million in annual turnover, to navigating the emotional and strategic complexities of a successful exit, Jacqueline has lived the full founder experience — and then some.

​Now at the helm of her newest venture, ODPR, she’s building again — this time with a mission to amplify the stories of others.

​In this honest and energising session, Jacqueline will reflect on:

• ​The realities of building a legacy business in a male-dominated industry

• ​What it really takes to prepare for and execute an exit

• ​The emotional side of letting go – and the freedom it brings

• ​Why she chose to start again, and what’s different this time

• ​How storytelling, brand and purpose are at the heart of her next chapter

• ​What she looks out for in female founders as an investor

​Whether you’re in the early days of building, considering your next move, or wondering what comes after “success” — this conversation is for you.
