Jo Malone CBE has been unveiled as the headline speaker at the 2026 Guernsey Private Wealth Forum, where she will join discussions on entrepreneurship and legacy wealth.

The perfumer, candle maker, and entrepreneur will take part in a fireside conversation with Guernsey Finance Chief Executive Barnaby Molloy in London tomorrow.

Industry leaders have been invited to the Forum, where the ‘Art of Wealth’ will be the focus.

Mr Molloy will lead discussions on managing wealth through the lens of passion assets, before exploring Ms Malone’s entrepreneurial journey, which saw her turn a personal passion into commercial success.

Having sold the Jo Malone London company, she now runs a creative consultancy alongside her niche perfume brand, ‘Jo Loves’.

Ms Malone was appointed MBE in 2008 and CBE in 2018 for services to the British economy.

Mr Molloy said he expected his conversation with Ms Malone to be “fascinating”.

“Many wealth creators are changing the ways they structure their wealth for the long term,” he said.

“For some families, conversations are becoming more values-led, which in turn raises questions about the purpose they want their legacy to serve. My discussion with Jo will bring a fascinating perspective on how entrepreneurs approach these questions, and I look forward to learning more from her experience.”
