Oxford Edge Events

Part of the Oxford Edge Lunch & Learn series, this session features George Looker, Commercial Director at ClickZ Media and CEO of Delfy.ai—an innovative GenAI platform helping content teams streamline discovery and creation. Drawing on his leadership across Blenheim Chalcot ventures, Amazon, and government advisory, George will explore how AI tools can enhance storytelling, sharpen messaging, and support powerful brand building.

Curious about how to spot opportunities in your research or ideas—and actually do something with them? In this session, Sally Charles, MPLS Enterprise Programme Manager at the University of Oxford, brings together Design Thinking and Lean Start-up principles to offer a fresh, actionable approach to turning ideas into ventures with real-world impact.

In this Oxford Edge Lunch & Learn, Rob Chapman, co-founder and former CEO of Founders Intelligence (acquired by Accenture in 2021), shares candid insights into what makes start-up teams succeed. With real-world lessons in hiring, firing, and culture building, Rob will explore the human dynamics behind venture success.

Great relationships don’t happen by accident — they’re built with intention.

Join us for an inspiring Lunch & Learn with Tamara Karsten, Head of Partnership Operations at Blenheim Chalcot, who’s helped scale partnerships with brands like TikTok, Snap, Google, Meta, and Pinterest.

We’ll explore how meaningful connections fuel career and venture growth, and how simple habits (and AI tools!) can make you unforgettable in all the right ways.
