Toni Kent is a bold and compelling voice on social mobility. As the founder of The Common Good Network, she has created a powerful platform that connects service users, providers and corporate partners to break down systemic barriers and widen access to opportunity.

With ten years at Microsoft and decades of lived and professional experience shaping her work, Toni brings rare insight into one of the most complex challenges facing modern Britain. Having grown up on a council estate, she speaks with clarity and credibility about the gap between policy and reality. She helps organisations see social mobility not as a tick-box exercise, but as a strategic priority that drives performance, trust and long-term growth.

Toni has delivered keynote speeches for leading organisations across technology, finance and law. She has twice hosted the UK Social Mobility Awards, reinforcing her standing as a trusted advocate in the field. She is also a stand-up comic, known for using humour to disarm, engage and challenge audiences in equal measure.

Her talks are direct, practical and grounded in real-world insight. She equips leaders with clear frameworks to review hiring and progression pathways, build inclusive cultures and measure impact with confidence. Teams leave with practical steps they can apply straight away, whether that means reshaping recruitment, strengthening sponsorship programmes or creating clearer routes for progression.

For organisations serious about tackling inequality and unlocking untapped talent, Toni offers both challenge and direction. If you want a speaker who will energise your audience and drive meaningful change, book Toni Kent for your next event.
