Astrid started her career in PR and then found herself working hospitality. It was probably meant to be as her father ran No 11 Cadogan Gardens Hotel and she lived next door as a child. She worked at the Bulgari Hotel, London building its presence locally and then joined Birley Clubs, to re-launch Annabel’s.

She was the Membership Director of Birley Clubs for 7 years. Astrid is a Founder of the private members platform, Blue Sky Friday and is also currently working with the French restaurant company, Lou Lou Groupe. She co- founded the Lady Garden Foundation and is a trustee of the The George Adamson and Tony Fitzjohn Wildlife Trust.

When not working or fundraising for charity, she loves hanging out with family & friends, dancing and travelling the world. She is in love with the Kora National Park in Kenya- www.koraproject.org
