Business and leadership strategist, storyteller, and creative powerhouse, Lucy Bloom inspires audiences with humour, captivating stories, and practical insights drawn from three decades of experience across diverse sectors.
She’s a business dynamo, a leadership trailblazer and a philanthropy powerhouse with a pink mohawk and a mission. Lucy’s career has spanned three decades and just as many reinventions, Lucy doesn’t just break the mould, she drop-kicks it. And in 2025, she’s one of the most sought-after speakers in Australia, New Zealand and beyond.
Lucy built a boutique advertising agency (by accident) and then ran it for 20 years, earning a rep for bold creative thinking and fearless strategy. She switched gears when she was recruited into the not-for-profit world as the founding CEO of a women’s health charity. In just under three years, she led a wildly successful $7M fundraising campaign for a network of hospitals and a midwifery school in Ethiopia.
She was then headhunted to lead a Cambodian children’s charity, transforming it into a fundraising machine and taking it swiftly from an orphanage model to a modern, community-first approach.
Lucy Bloom is the creative brains behind a world-first education start-up, the author of three books in three genres, host of her own podcast show, and a regular writer for a number of online platforms.
Her peers have recognised Lucy with leadership and keynote speaking awards, including as a two-time finalist in the Telstra Business Woman of the Year Awards. And she’s the only Aussie ever named in the top 30 #socialceos.
Lucy’s superpower is taking her significant life experiences and distilling them into memorable, relatable storytelling on stage with a cracking sense of humour.
And what’s with the rad hair? She’s had a pink mohawk since 2014 because she can.
