- Talks on Entrepreneurial Leadership at London Business School
London Business School created the TELL Series (formerly the Entrepreneurial Leadership Series) in 2009 to put the spotlight on Entrepreneurship in Europe. Since then TELL has hosted likes of: Sir Martin Sorrell, CEO WPP Group; Natie Kirsh, Kirsh Holdings Group; Herman Hauser, co-founder of Amadeus Capital; Bernard Liautaud founder of Business Objects ($6.8B sale to SAP); and Stan Boland, founder of Element 14 ($640M sale to Broadcom).
Modeled after Stanford University’s highly successful Entrepreneurial Thought Leaders seminar, the TELL series showcases successful entrepreneurs’ personal stories of building high growth businesses. Successful founders, investors and key figures from the entrepreneurship world share their start-up stories, leadership style, lessons learned and thoughts on the future. TELL events aim to be highly interactive, engaging and inspiring for all the participants. For the people interested or involved in entrepreneurship, the TELL series is an opportunity to meet, discuss and learn about current trends, opportunities and challenges in entrepreneurship and related sectors.
The format
TELL events consist of a talk from the guest speaker followed by Q&A moderated by a faculty member of the London Business School, and culminate in a networking reception, giving everybody an opportunity to continue their discussions.
Who can attend
The events are open to all: students, alumni, entrepreneurs, investors, faculty members and other professionals involved in entrepreneurship.
When and where
The TELL series usually takes place on the first and the third Wednesday of each month, from 18:30 to 21:00 at London Business School (London, NW1 4SA). The series runs from August through May each year. See our website for more details.
