Kirsty Hulse

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

NEUROWORX

Kirsty Hulse runs companies that make work better. She’s helped more than 60,000 leaders, teams, and C-suite executives build confidence and communicate better, speaking in over 20 countries and working with companies like LinkedIn, Amazon, and Meta. As CEO of Neuroworx, she’s fixing hiring by making it simpler and fairer. She also runs Roar!, turning boring corporate training into something people actually enjoy. She created Confidence Live, the world’s largest conference dedicated to confidence, where CEOs share stages with comedians and drag queens perform alongside poets, drawing people from around the world to the unlikely setting of her hometown, Stoke-on-Trent. Her first book predicted the flexible working revolution back in 2016 (nobody believed her then - yet here we all are, directing global operations in paint-splattered yoga pants). Kirsty is a stand-up comedian and brings that energy to everything she does. When she’s not fixing workplaces, she’s making corporate PowerPoints funny - because someone has to.
