Gill Whitty-Collins

She/her

Author, facilitator and coach​

Gill was born near Liverpool and went from the local comprehensive high school to study at Cambridge University. After graduating, she joined Procter & Gamble, where she led global brands such as Pantene, Olay and Max Factor and swiftly moved up the ladder to Marketing Director, General Manager and ultimately Senior Vice President. At the Senior Executive and Board level, she was struck by the lack of representation of women and fascinated by the invisible, unconscious forces that were holding them back - and made a vow to write and talk about it.​

Gill is the author of ‘Why Men Win at Work and How We Can Make Inequality History.’ She has delivered keynotes for organisations such as FT Live, Channel 4, Unilever, Microsoft, EY, P&G, and many others.​

Gill leaves audiences enlightened, inspired, challenged, energised and motivated to drive progress, thanks to her clear, credible vision and her straight talking style that brings clarity to the gender inequality issue in a way that opens minds and makes people think differently. Her speeches are highly inclusive and relatable for everyone in the organisation, bringing men and women together and sparking many questions, nodding heads, penny drop moments and lively discussion that prompts all genders to self-reflect on the work to be done to drive gender equality. Filled with unbiased perspective, Gill shares clear concepts that people can relate to and practical and very actionable advice and tips to act on.
