Lauren van der Westhuizen is founder of House of Racquet, a modern and inclusive padel and social wellness club located in London’s Kings Cross. Drawing on her journey from corporate lawyer to founder of the UK’s first female-founded padel club, she explores the rise of the female consumer in sport, why women remain underserved by the industry, and the opportunity this creates for founders and brands.
Lauren’s talks blend personal story with market insight, encouraging audiences to rethink risk, redefine success beyond traditional career paths, and build businesses around what they genuinely care about. Audiences leave with practical confidence to pursue bold ideas and create spaces where women belong.
