Hannah MillsRecord-Breaking Olympic Sailing Champion and Environmental Advocate

Hannah Mills is the most decorated female sailor in Olympic history, a distinction earned through a relentless commitment to excellence across three consecutive Summer Games. After securing a silver medal at London 2012, she proceeded to capture gold at both the Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2020 Olympics. Her career is further distinguished by her status as a double world champion, having initially found immense success in the 470 class alongside Saskia Clark before continuing her medal-winning trajectory with Eilidh McIntyre. Beyond her sporting dominance, she has established herself as a prominent leader in the global sustainability movement. Inspired by the environmental challenges she witnessed while competing internationally, she founded the Big Plastic Pledge to eliminate single-use plastic in sport and serves as a Sustainability Ambassador for the International Olympic Committee. Having retired from Olympic competition at the pinnacle of her career, she now focuses on driving large-scale ecological change and championing environmental conservation. As a speaker, she explores the psychological resilience and meticulous attention to detail required to succeed at the highest level. Her presentations provide corporate audiences with a compelling look at the intersection of elite performance, leadership, and the urgent need for global environmental responsibility. On stage, Hannah Mills is best known for talks on Peak Performance. 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 Sport and Sustainability & Environment, where the themes translate directly into team decisions, customer experience and growth strategy.
