2023 Lucy Bloom

is an award-winning leader, international keynote speaker, consultant and author. She uses her superpowers for writing and speaking about courage, trust, failure, change, maverick thinking, generosity and fun.

Lucy is a charity expert, governance gun and strategy machine. She’s a rule breaker, idea maker and exceptional communicator.

Lucy Bloom led a successful boutique advertising agency for 20 years before taking on the start-up challenge as founding CEO of a brand new women’s health charity. In less than three years at the helm, Lucy built the policy, procedure, team and strategy which raised $7M for a network of hospitals and a midwifery school in Ethiopia.

Lucy then moved on to lead a Cambodian children’s charity as the organisation’s first CEO. She transformed it from an administration function to a fundraising machine with proper policy, procedure, budgeting and strategy, raising more in 12 months than the charity had raised in any year before.

Lucy’s speaking style is fun, fast and relatable, packed with stories from the trenches of business building, laced with humour and take-home learnings to apply today. Lucy’s backstory is one that makes her an inspirational and motivational speaker, yet she’s utterly relatable and real.

Plus, most importantly, Lucy has a real-life experience with the wonderful work of our charity, HeartKids.
