Holly helps organisations move from risk-averse to risk-ready and thrive. Drawing on her experiences as an Everest summiteer, the first woman to skydive Everest, and a social entrepreneur, Holly delivers bold and powerful keynotes that blend edge-of-your-seat anecdotes with actionable takeaways for navigating change and leading with purpose. Whether racing 1000km on wild horses across Mongolia, ambushing poachers on the front line in Africa, or building a global conservation movement from the ground up, Holly doesn’t just talk about risk, she lives it. She inspires audiences to lead with courage, build resilient mindsets, and take bold action in the face of uncertainty. Off the stage, Holly is a multi-award-winning conservationist, social entrepreneur, and founder of How Many Elephants, a global NGO.

Holly shares edge-of-your-seat stories – from Everest’s death zone to front line anti-poaching patrols – revealing how to reframe risk as your competitive edge. This talk equips leaders and teams to take bold, calculated action when it matters most. ### I’ve Climbed Everest, But So What? Making Bold Impact That Matters. Reaching the summit of Everest was a milestone but it wasn’t the destination. In this powerful keynote, Holly challenges the idea that success is defined by the peak. She explores what happens after the big win and why bold, purpose-led action is the real measure of impact. Through nail-biting, often humorous, stories of high-altitude risk, and game-changing missions on the front line of conservation, Holly equips audiences to set meaningful goals, and take bold action that truly matters. ### How To Lead Under Pressure: The Rise of Female Rangers On The Frontline Based on Holly’s work with 5,500+ female rangers, this talk explores inclusive leadership, courage, and risk-taking in male-dominated spaces. It’s a powerful, practical keynote for teams working in ESG, DEI, or purpose-led leadership. ### The Elephant in the Boardroom: The Conservation Risk Equation With biodiversity on the brink and climate impacts accelerating, conservation is no longer a side issue, it’s a boardroom issue. Holly reveals how protecting keystone species like elephants mitigates climate risk, supports livelihoods, and safeguards our shared future. Drawing on over a decade of frontline conservation work, this talk connects ESG strategy, business resilience, and bold leadership in the face of ecological risk. ## Testimonials > “Down-to-earth, funny, and incredibly inspiring.” > — HRH The Duke of Edinburgh *(via London Speaker Bureau)* > “Clients loved Holly’s approach.
