Sistr Social - Turning Left

Sistr invites you to a Sistr social where you can mingle and network with Sistrs from all walks of life.

This panel series will look at why and how some of our trailblazing Sistr founder members chose to 'turn left' in industries where everyone else turns right. What was their lightbulb moment for founding their business, their failures and successes, the lessons they've learnt along the way and what keeps the fires in their business bellies burning.

About the panel: 

Emma Sayle will be chairing the panel, founded Sistr in June 2019- a dedicated platform for women to connect, share and learn from one another. She is best known for being one of the UK’s leading ‘sex-entrepreneurs’. She made her name launching the elite global party brand Killing Kittens in 2005, she has gone on to become a leading spokesperson for the female-first movement. Her passion for female empowerment is the driving force behind the KK Group, which inspires women to make connections socially, sexually, romantically and professionally. She also runs the Sisterhood Group taking on ultra races all over the world in aid of various women and children's charities.

Emma Kenny is a psychologist, TV presenter, writer and expert media commentator, and is now recognised as one of the UK’s leading TV psychological experts. She is perhaps best known for her role as resident psychologist on ITV’s This Morning where, during the viewer phone-in segment of the show, she provides expert advice on a whole range of sensitive issues. Emma has also emerged as a fan favourite for her presenting roles on true crime programmes – most notably Britain’s Darkest Taboos on the Crime & Investigation Channel.

Amanda Thomson is the CEO and Founder of Thomson & Scott, winner of the EY Winning Women 2017, Le Cordon Bleu Entrepreneur of the Year 2017 and DIT Export Champion 2019. The creator of Skinny Champagne and Skinny Prosecco, she is leading the global transparency in wine movement by creating a company that asks consumers to demand what's in their bottles. By example, Thomson & Scott produces top quality Champagne and Prosecco with as little intervention as possible in the production process and highlights its vegan and organic credentials. This Summer, Thomson launches Noughty, the first organic, vegan alcohol-free sparkling wine with almost half the sugar content of traditional alcohol-free sparkling wines, revolutionising the way in which consumers enjoy alcohol free options.
