While your question implies very much a business orientation at least consider JFK-LAX-LHR in place of the JFK-LHR.
Perhaps as an excuse to visit Walt Disney's legacy in Anaheim? (And to add a few miles for future travel and status).
Alternatively JFK-SJU-MAD-MXP or JFK-MIA-BGI-LHR-MXP if Carribean climes are of greater interest in a mild diversion.......
Think creatively - especially when a jet lag day (or two) is needed somewhere. You don't mention that.........
Happy wandering
