About Olea Lane

Great hospitality works as both a business and an experience.

Olea Lane brings commercial perspective, operational insight and hands-on event experience together to help venue partners and corporate clients make better decisions from strategy through execution.

A partnership of complementary strengths.

Olea Lane was built from two perspectives that rarely sit at the same table:
the commercial side of hospitality and the operational side responsible for delivering it.

Nicole and Jed have spent their careers on opposite but connected sides of the business, bringing together an understanding of what clients need, what operations can support, and what makes an event program work in the real world.
