Holly Branson

Biography

So much more than the daughter of Sir Richard Branson, Holly Branson is the co-founder of Big Change – a charity for radical improvement in the lives of young people that was founded following the 2012 London Riots. In the last decade, they’ve engaged with over 1.2 million young people and provided £45m in funding for worthwhile local projects. Holly leads this movement, while maintaining a role at Virgin as the Chief Purpose and Vision Officer.

In 2018, Holly co-authored her first book “WEconomy” about finding purpose and success in business without compromising your ethics or our planet. And sometimes that purpose is self-challenging. Holly has attempted to break records with her sailing, climbed Mont Blanc and run the London Marathon; all while being a busy mum.

As an event speaker or presenter, Holly is charismatic and engaging. Her experience working with children and educators affords her a natural comfort with any kind of audience. And her wide-ranging interests offer relevant anecdotes for any environment.
