ABOUT SOLVEJ BIDDLE
Tech CEOs tell me their biggest challenge isn\'t building product—it\'s influencing the stakeholders who determine their success: investors, boards, teams, partners. I learned this the hard way. After 13 years as a Chambers-recognized advertising lawyer, I pitched on Dragons\' Den (Series 8) and secured investment in a bidding war—the first time a Dragon ever made an offer without asking questions. That stakeholder influence helped me scale Content & Calm to 21 countries with partnerships including British Airways, Virgin Atlantic, Mothercare, Boots, and John Lewis.**Today:** As NED, Board Advisor, Angel Investor, and UK Ambassador for Tech Nordic Advocates and 30 years of experience, I help tech CEOs master stakeholder dynamics. I\'ve advised from startups to a $148B global brand, with focus on supporting female founders through TNA\'s Diversity Venture Fund.**Launching Q4 2025:** The ENGAGE Method™ - premium programme teaching tech CEOs to decode motivations, navigate difficult conversations, and influence without manipulation in high-stakes situations.**Background:** Dragons\' Den Winner • 13y Chambers-recognized lawyer • Scaled to 21 countries • Female Business Owner 2011 • Author of leadership programmes (GE Global) • NED • Angel Investor • UK Ambassador TNA **Additional:** Development Board Member (Ovarian Cancer Action) • Speaker Watch my Dragons\' Den pitch: https://youtu.be/6icEZbUkvrw Early access to The ENGAGE Method™:
