Jess Hall is Chief Product Officer at Just Eat Takeaway.com, one of the world's leading on-demand delivery platforms, connecting hundreds of thousands of partners with tens of millions of consumers across 17 international markets. She leads the global product vision powering this ecosystem, evolving the platform beyond food delivery into a broader digital high street for everyday convenience. With nearly two decades of experience building and scaling digital platforms used by millions of people every day, Jess has held senior leadership roles at some of the UK's largest consumer businesses, including Tesco, Argos and Sainsbury's, leading large-scale transformation in complex retail and technology environments. She has been at the forefront of applied AI in consumer platforms for years, most visibly when she led the deployment of the first autonomous wheel-legged delivery robots in Europe. But the work she is most proud of sits closer to home: she created JET's early careers programme from scratch, deliberately designed without degree requirements, hiring on potential rather than credentials. Three cohorts in, over 52% of each intake are women, 95% graduate into full-time roles, and the cohort includes career switchers from nursing, teaching, veterinary work, and documentary filmmaking. In a sector that has historically locked women out by insisting on CS or maths degrees, Jess used her platform to open a different door. A longstanding advocate for women in tech and business, she speaks regularly on the importance of active sponsorship and building genuinely diverse talent pipelines. Outside work, Jess is a mother of two, a tennis player, a runner, and a reader with an ambitious annual book target and no apologies for it.
PAID TO BE A CYCLE BREAKER - Get Your Ticket Here https://www.skool.com/breadwinner-energy-club-7485 The coaching industry is a multi-billion dollar machine and it was not built for you.The frameworks are white. The pricing psychology is white. The launch models are white. And the “manifesting”? Stripped from traditions that white women repackaged and sold back to you without credit, context, or medicine.In this episode of the Breadwinner Energy® Podcast, I'm breaking down what it actually looks like to decolonize your business not as a concept, but as a daily practice. I'm naming the five colonial systems that have been passed down through your family line and showing up in your business right now: silence and obedience, hustle culture, disconnection from intuition, over-giving, and limited access to wealth and power.Then I'm giving you five things you can decolonize in your business today your offer structure, your pricing, your sales process, your content, and your definition of success.If you're a woman of color building a healing based business and something has always felt off about the strategies you've been taught — it's because they were never made for someone like you. This episode is your permission slip to burn the map and build the road.This episode covers:What decolonization actually means (and what it doesn't)The 5 colonial systems still running your life and businessHow patriarchal and colonial frameworks show up in pricing, offers, sales, and contentWhy hustle culture is a colonial inheritance, not a work ethicHow to stop over-delivering, over-explaining, and doing emotional labor for clientsWhy reclaimed wealth is more than money — it's time, health, peace, and legacyHow to build from YOUR roots instead of someone else's template1. Silence and ObedienceColonial systems rewarded women especially women of color for being quiet, compliant, and self-sacrificing. In business, this shows up as diluting your messaging, softening your truth, and making yourself palatable for audiences that were never yours to serve.2. Hustle CultureHustle, struggle, and sacrifice have been glorified for generations. it's a colonial inheritance. Decolonizing your business means allowing yourself to rest, to build wealth in a way that feels good, and to stop treating burnout as proof that you're doing it right.3. Disconnection from Intuition and Cultural RootsSystems like organized religion and Western education were designed to make women distrust their own inner knowing. Your intuition, your cultural wisdom, your ancestral practices — these are not “woo.” They are your competitive advantage and the foundation of your medicine.4. Over-GivingIf you're over-delivering, over-explaining, and doing emotional labor for your clients — that's not leadership. That's codependency. Decolonizing your business means teaching your clients to be empowered, not dependent. It means charging for your energy, not just your time.5. Limited Access to Wealth and PowerWomen of color have been historically excluded from wealth, ownership, and leadership. Decolonizing your business means rewriting your relationship with money, power, and leadership — and building wealth from a place of truth rather than trauma.Then I give you 5 things to decolonize right now: your offer structure, your pricing model, your sales process, your content strategy, and your definition of success.

Women don't lack ambition.They don't lack skills.And they don't lack drive.So why do so many capable women — especially women from minority backgrounds — stall before reaching positions of power?In this episode of Girl, Take the Lead!, I'm joined by Alexandra Gantier, a French public relations, public affairs, and leadership advisor with more than 18 years of international experience across France and the United States. Alexandra is the co-founder of The Poderosas, a nonprofit dedicated to expanding leadership access for women from minority backgrounds through mentorship and sponsorship.Alexandra brings a deeply global perspective to leadership — shaped by her upbringing in France, her formative years in South America, and her professional journey in the U.S. She is currently completing a PhD at the Toulouse School of Management, where her research explores female leadership, representation in decision-making spaces, and how structural barriers shape access to power.Together, we unpack a powerful truth:Women don't need fixing — they need access.This conversation goes beyond confidence and skill-building to name the systemic and relational dynamics that determine who advances, who is sponsored, and who is invited into rooms where decisions are made.We also explore Alexandra's retreat work through Empowering Women Global Leaders, which creates space for women to pause, reset, and reconnect with their values — including retreats in Paris and the south of France.Why women aren't advancing — and why it's not a confidence problemThe difference between mentorship and sponsorship (and why both matter)Structural barriers that shape access to leadership and powerNavigating politics, relationships, and visibility at workGenerational shifts in how women approach work, ambition, and voiceWhy you can do everything — just not all at the same timeThe courage to stop shrinking and build your own room“Keep your values as your inner compass.Never stay in a space where you feel you need to shrink yourself — you can build your own room.”She also chose the Trust Your Gut card — a reminder that leadership often begins by listening to what you already know.

Established in 2008, the luxury womenswear label Emilia Wickstead has become known in the industry as the epitome of modern femininity. Born in New Zealand to a part-New Zealand part-Italian mother and a part-Samoan father, Emilia was raised in the suburbs of Pakaranga, Ellerslie and Parnel in Auckland. After her father, an artist, passed away when Emilia was four, her mother Angela Wickstead founded her own successful made-to-measure fashion line. Emilia spent her formative years observing her mother build her business, assisting in fittings after school. At the age of fourteen Emilia moved to Italy when her mother married an Italian, spending her teenage years studying in Milan. There, Emilia became mesmerized with the world of luxury fashion. At eighteen she moved to London to study Design and Marketing at world-renowned university Central Saint Martin's, graduating with Honours in 2007. After her studies Emilia worked at American Vogue and at fashion houses including Giorgio Armani and Narciso Rodriguez before returning to London to establish her eponymous label, opening her first store in Belgravia in 2009. Known for her fluent use of colour and exacting craftsmanship, Emilia Wickstead's designs effortlessly combine tradition and the romance of bygone eras with refined silhouettes and contemporary twists to create timeless, elegant clothing with a clear point of distinction. Originally founding her business with a unique made-to-measure model, Emilia's collections now comprise seasonal ready-to-wear, homeware and bridalwear, as well as bespoke and made-to-order services operated from her West London atelier.

From board apprenticeships to breaking old myths about who gets to lead, this conversation makes the case for why women's voices are the game-changers in modern governance.
