It’s Storytime followed by Leeds Digital Drinks! Come by, meet people, and learn something new!
Story Time is an informal space for digital and tech leaders in Leeds to share what they’ve learned the hard way (or maybe the easy way).
The format isn’t set – it could be a panel, fireside chat, or presentation – but the idea stays the same: real stories from people building businesses, leading teams, or shaping communities. No pitches, no polish. Just honest conversation about what’s working, what isn’t, and what we’re figuring out as we go. It’s a tight, focused hour so you can always find time to fit it in your evening.
⌚️17:30 – 18:30 – Talks start promptly at 17:45
🗓️ Thursday 26th March, 2026
📍 Avenue HQ
10-12 East Parade, Leeds, LS1 2BH
with Leeds Digital Drinks at Crown Street Tap to follow right after!
We’re thrilled to welcome Zandra Moore for our March event!
About the speaker:
Zandra Moore is the CEO and founder of Zygens, an agentic AI consultancy that helps leadership teams in finance and professional services move from AI ambition to safe, practical deployment with measurable outcomes. With 25 years’ experience building and scaling tech businesses, she supports boards and senior leaders who need clarity and control before making high-stakes commitments.
Before launching Zygens, Zandra co-founded and led Panintelligence, a global enterprise analytics and AI SaaS platform, scaling it internationally, raising over $5m, reaching profitability at circa $5m ARR, and serving 450+ organisations, including Sage, ACI, and Advanced. Beyond her commercial work, she is an angel investor with Ada Ventures, founder of Lean In Leeds and The Lifted Project, and a long-standing advocate for inclusive growth in tech; in 2025, she was awarded an MBE for services to gender equality in business.
In this session, Zandra will be sharing her lessons learned along her journey. This event will NOT be recorded and available later, so we suggest you come in person to get the stories firsthand.
Following Story Time, we’ll be heading to the Crown Street Tap to continue the conversations.
