Luciana Berger

Luciana Berger is a prominent advocate for mental health and a former Member of Parliament who served as the first Shadow Cabinet Minister for Mental Health in the United Kingdom. Throughout her parliamentary career, she held senior frontbench roles including Shadow Minister for Energy and Climate Change and Shadow Minister for Public Health. Her legislative achievements remain significant, notably introducing the national Green Deal apprenticeship scheme and championing the 'breathing space' for individuals struggling with debt and mental health crises. Starting her professional career in the Government Strategy Unit at Accenture and later at the NHS Confederation, Luciana entered Parliament as one of its youngest members at the age of 28. She later served as a member of the Health and Social Care Select Committee and acted as the Liberal Democrat Spokesperson for Health and Wellbeing. Her commitment to public welfare is evidenced by her leadership in campaigns for Mental Health First Aiders in the workplace and her previous role advising the Liverpool Metro Mayor on mental health strategy. Now an influential figure in the non-profit sector, she serves as Chair of the Maternal Mental Health Alliance and is a Vice President for both the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy and the Jewish Leadership Council. Recognised by Vogue25 as one of the women shaping Britain, she is frequently booked for her unique expertise in navigating complex political landscapes and her dedication to improving national wellbeing standards. On stage, Luciana Berger is best known for talks on Wellbeing and Politics & Geopolitics. 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 Health & Wellbeing and Politics & Government, where the themes translate directly into team decisions, customer experience and growth strategy. Luciana Berger is regularly booked for Business Speaker, adapting tone, length and format to suit the event — from a 20-minute opener to a full conference keynote with Q&A.
