About Dave Brailsford

Successfully pioneered the 1% factor of marginal gains philosophy in cycling
Lead British Cycling to 59 World Championship victories
Supported Team Sky in achieving multiple Tour de France victories
Sir Dave Brailsford revolutionised British cycling with his "marginal gains" philosophy, transforming a struggling program into a global powerhouse. As Performance Director of British Cycling from 2003, he led the team to unprecedented Olympic success —eight gold medals at both Beijing 2008 and London 2012, and 59 World Championship victories in just a decade.
Dave's approach is brilliantly simple yet profound: achieve 1% improvements across multiple areas that compound into remarkable results. This methodology later powered Team Sky (now Team Ineos) to multiple Tour de France victories with champions Bradley Wiggins, Chris Froome, and Geraint Thomas.
In today's business landscape, where organisations face relentless pressure to innovate and perform, Dave's insights offer a practical framework for sustainable excellence. He demonstrates how meticulous attention to detail, data-driven decision making, and holistic performance strategies create winning cultures in any competitive environment.
Knighted in 2012 and twice awarded BBC Sports Personality Coach of the Year, Dave translates his sporting success into actionable business strategies. His presentations reveal how organisations can identify their own marginal gains opportunities, build resilience through incremental progress, and develop the mindset needed for long-term success.
Bring Dave's winning formula to your team and discover how small changes can deliver extraordinary results.
