About Shaun Wallace

Criminal defence barrister handling serious cases

Shaun Wallace, a criminal defence barrister and television personality, combines legal expertise with quiz mastery to deliver engaging presentations on resilience, diversity and the power of knowledge.

His breakthrough came in 2004 when he became the first black man to win Mastermind, leading to his role as a Chaser since 2008.

Shaun draws from his dual career to help organisations navigate challenges in diversity and inclusion, sharing personal experiences of overcoming academic obstacles and racial barriers. His legal background and public platform enable him to address complex social issues with authority while making them accessible to diverse audiences.

Audiences leave Shaun's presentations with practical strategies for building resilience in professional environments, actionable approaches to championing diversity in the workplace, and techniques for continuous learning and knowledge application.

I’ve been inundated with so many kind messages about Shaun’s talk (even some marriage proposals for Shaun!). He was absolutely brilliant and I can’t sing his praises enough for the impact he made on the staff that were on the call. He asked me to update him in a year’s time, and I would really like to keep in touch to let him know about the progress we are making. I’m still new in this role and he’s given me so much to consider. | Natasha, Diversity, Inclusion & Equity Specialist, Kindred | | https://peptalk-static-assets.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/speech-bubble-2.webp
It was a wonderful opportunity to have Shaun speak at Chaucer’s first-ever Black History Month celebration. In fact, he was our very first guest of the celebration. He was inspiring, knowledgeable and spoke many truths about the history and current position of people of colour in the UK… Overall, we were very happy to have had Shaun as a speaker at our event. | Shirley, Chaucer | | https://peptalk-static-assets.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/speech-bubble-2.webp
