Jess Rad

Jess Rad is an award-winning speaker, entrepreneur, and leading voice on gender equity and neurodiversity in the workplace. Winner of the 2024 National Diversity Award for Gender, she works with organisations to close gender gaps, build allyship, and shift workplace cultures ensuring an intersectional lens is always given.

Trusted by organisations including NatWest, Open Society Foundations, and Sussex University, Jess is known for her raw, thought-provoking talks that open up conversations many shy away from. She brings both professional insight and deeply personal lived experience as a late-identified neurodivergent woman, co-parent, and someone navigating premature menopause. As an Ambassador for Amaze, she is passionate about changing the narrative around neurodiversity and amplifying the voices of parent carers.

Through honesty, vulnerability, and storytelling, Jess creates spaces where people feel seen, understood, and able to rethink the way they work and lead.
