Kitchen Dinner Series (Book Now)
Here at The Next Women we are often asked to facilitate meetings amongst female business heroes and to connect business leaders. After all, with every business and every woman comes a different story and a different experience.
This got us thinking..
Fine wine, good food, an inspirational lady, a group of connected
women and men, and finally that light bulb moment:
A series of ‘Kitchen Table Dinners’
Upcoming 2010 Kitchen Dinners
- Kitchen Dinner Number 7:
Wednesday February 24th – ‘Dine with Judy Piatkus, the Exit Entrepreneur’
For more information: Kitchen Dinner Number 7, Wednesday February 24th
Keynote Details
Described by The Times in 2009 as ‘one of the world’s leading thinkers’ Judy Piatkus is a keynote speaker and business consultant with over 30 years experience as a female entrepreneur specialising in the areas of growing a successful business, reinvention of products and brands and personal development.
Judy’s second publishing company (she sold the first one before she was 30), Piatkus Books, grew from small beginnings in Judy’s back bedroom in Loughton, Essex, to become one of the UK’s top 25 publishing companies and one of the world’s leading independent publishing imprints.
In the summer of 2007 Judy successfully sold the company to Little Brown who are continuing to develop the Piatkus brand.
Funded only by the company’s organic growth, and, as a single parent, Judy created a publishing imprint which consistently delivered quality books, season after season.
Judy has always been fascinated by new ideas and trends in society. Her experience as an entrepreneur and publisher whose job it was to think ahead and anticipate trends, influences her keynote speaking, her workshops and her business consultancy.
