About Martine Wright
Martine Wright MBE is a testament to the power of the human spirit. Following the 7/7 London bombings in 2005, where she was the last rescued survivor and lost both legs, she embarked on an intensive year of physical rehabilitation. Transitioning from her former role as an international marketing manager at CNET, she channelled her focus into new challenges, eventually discovering the sport of sitting volleyball at Stoke Mandeville. This new path culminated in her representing Great Britain at the London 2012 Paralympic Games.
Beyond her sporting achievements, Martine has consistently pushed the boundaries of what is possible, qualifying as a pilot of light aircraft, completing a 10,000-foot skydive, and mastering skiing. Her remarkable journey is detailed in her autobiography, Unbroken, and she has further extended her reach as a member of the specialist broadcasting team for Channel 4's Paralympic coverage.
Martine is highly sought after for her ability to translate her experiences into universal lessons on determination and peak performance. Her presence on stage provides audiences with a profound perspective on overcoming adversity through self-belief and a clear sense of purpose.
On stage, Martine Wright is best known for talks on Resilience and 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 Health & Wellbeing, Motivational Speaking and Sport, where the themes translate directly into team decisions, customer experience and growth strategy.
Martine Wright is regularly booked for Motivational Speaker and Presenter & Awards Host, adapting tone, length and format to suit the event — from a 20-minute opener to a full conference keynote with Q&A.
Based in UK, Martine Wright travels internationally for engagements.
