You may know Charlie Martin, speaker and trailblazing racing driver on a mission to make history as the first transgender competitor in the legendary 24 Hours of Le Mans. But her impact goes far beyond the track. As an LGBTQ+ activist and advocate for inclusion, Charlie uses her powerful story of resilience and determination to help businesses build truly inclusive cultures.
Transitioning midway through her career in the male-dominated sport of racing, Charlie has faced and overcome immense adversity. She now shares her lived experience with organisations worldwide, offering practical guidance on allyship, awareness, and authentic engagement with the LGBTQ+ community. She helps teams move from good intentions to meaningful action with a compelling blend of storytelling and structured advice.
Charlie’s insights have helped Fortune 500 companies foster stronger, more inclusive workplaces, making real progress on diversity and equality. As an ambassador for leading LGBTQ+ charities, including Stonewall, Racing Pride, and Athlete Ally, she is at the forefront of positive change in sport and beyond.
With 18 years of racing experience in single-seaters, GT cars, and prototypes across Europe and North America, Charlie has defied the odds at every turn. A BMW Friend of the Brand, she made history at the Nürburgring 24 Hours and recently finished 2nd in class at the 2024 24 Hours of Le Mans support race—bringing her one step closer to her ultimate goal. Recognised in British Vogue’s ‘Vogue 25’ as one of the most inspiring women shaping the world, Charlie’s journey is a testament to courage, ambition, and self-belief.
