Dr Alison Edgar MBE is a transformational business speaker and author who has spent over three decades leading and excelling across global organisations.

Alison's corporate career placed her inside a company that once dominated its industry worldwide, where she witnessed firsthand how resisting change in emerging markets triggered a cataclysmic decline. This experience shaped her mission to understand what drives high-performing teams and future-ready leaders — and how organisations can build cultures where people take ownership, accountability, and deliver exceptional results.

Awarded an MBE for business in 2020 and an Honorary Doctorate of Education in 2024, Alison is recognised for her contribution to learning and development. Her work has taken her inside major global brands, including Amazon, Adobe, CBRE, LVMH, MetLife, and British Airways, where she helps teams navigate change, strengthen collaboration, and raise performance standards at every level.

Alison is the author of two international bestsellers, both widely used across organisations to develop confidence, resilience, and professional impact. She was also invited by the BBC to appear as the business expert on The Apprentice: Unfinished Business (BBC2), where she gave her opinions on the show and assessed commercial judgement and leadership under pressure. Alison joined a select group of business experts featured on the programme, following Baroness Karren Brady and Mike Soutar.

Known for her energy, humour, relatability, and down-to-earth storytelling, Alison empowers audiences to think differently, show up with purpose, and unlock the performance potential within themselves and their teams.
