Meetings, Incentives, Conferences & Events Specialist
London
A sales and marketing professional specialising in the the UK meetings and incentive market, Henriette Speed started her career in 1996 as part of the pre-opening team for the Westin Dragonara.

She joined Kerzner International in 2004 to launch their in-house MICE sales team for the One&Only brand as Director, Group and Incentive Sales, and successfully re-introduced the brand to this market sector, making the name synonymous with high-end incentives.
