As the Group CEO and Founder of Debate Mate, I lead a global business that is transforming the way we think and learn. With over 30 years of experience, I combine my expertise as a barrister-at-law, an ed tech entrepreneur, and a philanthropist to create innovative solutions for education and social mobility.
Debate Mate offers a range of programmes and products that teach next generation communication and leadership skills to schools and businesses worldwide, using the power of the DebateMate skills and AI. Our partners and clients include some of the most prestigious and influential organisations, such as Goldman Sachs, Harvard Business School, and Bill Gates. We also work with the most marginalised young people, empowering them to find their voice and achieve their potential.
I am passionate about education, human rights, and policy analysis, and I have been recognised as a first runner-up in the 2018 Yidan Prize for Education. I am also a mentor to thousands of young people, a speaker on the future of work, female leadership and Gen AI. I believe that the debatemate magic is the key to unlocking creativity, critical thinking, and collaboration in the 21st century.
