About Caroline Criado Perez
Caroline Criado Perez is a distinguished writer, journalist, and campaigner renowned for her work in identifying systemic gender inequality. As the author of the international bestseller Invisible Women: Exposing Data Bias in a World Designed for Men, she has transformed the conversation regarding how data gaps adversely affect women in medicine, technology, and urban planning. This influential work was awarded both the Royal Society Science Book Prize and the Financial Times and McKinsey Business Book of the Year Award, highlighting her status as a leading authority on the intersection of big data and diversity.
Beyond her literary success, she has successfully spearheaded major public campaigns, including the initiative to feature Jane Austen on the £10 note and the installation of a statue of Millicent Fawcett in Parliament Square. Her first book, Do it Like a Woman, further established her reputation by documenting the global experiences of women challenging traditional societal roles. A regular contributor to major outlets such as The Guardian, The Telegraph, and the BBC, she continues to provide critical analysis on how algorithms and design choices often default to a male-centric perspective.
Audiences book Caroline for her ability to translate complex data sets into compelling narratives that challenge established norms. She provides a vital perspective for organisations looking to foster true inclusion by addressing the hidden biases within their own data and structures.
On stage, Caroline Criado Perez is best known for talks on Diversity & Inclusion. Audiences leave with a clear, practical view of the subject rather than a generic overview — every keynote is shaped around the brief and the room.
Their work resonates with leaders across Media & Broadcasting and Publishing, where the themes translate directly into team decisions, customer experience and growth strategy.
