Gathr's Senior People Leaders Breakfast
Welcome to Gathr's Senior People Leaders Breakfast
Join a curated group of Senior People Leaders from high-growth startups and scaleups for an intimate breakfast centred on leadership, talent strategy, organisational design, and building strong, high-performing cultures in growing companies.
We’ll be gathering in a private dining room in Covent Garden for a relaxed, peer-led conversation. This is a space to exchange insights on scaling teams, navigating executive hiring, supporting founders, shaping culture, and building resilient organisations - all over great coffee and breakfast.
Whether you’re a Chief People Officer, VP People, Head of Talent, or leading People strategy in a scaling business, this session is designed to foster meaningful connections with others facing similar challenges at similar stages of growth.
Schedule:
08:30 – 08:45

Open networking & peer connections
This is a complimentary, invite-only gathering for senior People and Talent leaders. Expect thoughtful discussion, practical insights, and a strong peer network — all before 10am (arguably the most efficient kind of networking).
We look forward to welcoming you to the table.
