Beyond the Business: How Great Leaders Emerge

Laurie Fuller

Date: 6th November 2025

Time: 8.30am - 11.30am

Venue: Kwetu Nairobi, Curio Collection by Hilton

REGISTER NOW

Running a business is hard, leading one is harder. In this powerful fireside chat, executive coach and board director Laurie Fuller pulls back the curtain on what really holds entrepreneurs back: The heroic instinct to do it all, the exhaustion of constant firefighting, and the silence that comes when there’s no one to challenge your thinking. Drawing on stories from entrepreneurs, Laurie reveals the practical habits that turn busy operators into strategic leaders.

She’ll also unpack why governance and board readiness aren’t just for large corporations, they’re the hidden levers that create accountability, attract capital, and allow companies to grow beyond the individual at the top.

Beyond the Business isn’t about more hustle, it’s about

transformation. Because great companies don’t just scale operations, they scale leadership.

Laurie Fuller helps entrepreneurs scale by unlocking growth capital, refining strategy, strengthening leadership and governance. With deep experience across emergingmarket SMEs and scale ups, she brings a global perspective having worked in North America, Europe, Asia, and currently Africa. A board director and frequent speaker on fundraising and AI in leadership & the boardroom, Laurie empowers founders to lead beyond the business, turning growth challenges into lasting transformation.
