This week we sat down with Olga Iserlis, founder and CEO of Adagio Events. Iserlis has 20 years of experience in business and event planning and the high-profile client list to match: she’s worked with Prada, Ferrari, American Express, and many more, and is regularly featured on the Tatler 300 list of Singapore's Most Powerful Elite. In 2016, she released Save the Date, a coffee table book that goes behind the scenes of the event-planning industry and documents her creative process.

In this episode, Karina Givargisoff and Sharleen Spiteri speak to Olga about her work as Singapore’s go-to event planner, the country’s cultural depth and how philanthropic events, although earnest in intent, should always be memorable.
