Heather Mills is an entrepreneur, philanthropist, activist and record-breaking athlete whose career embodies resilience, innovation and compassion. As a sustainability and motivational speaker, she is celebrated for her passionate advocacy of plant-based living and her inspirational journey of overcoming personal adversity. Hired regularly by organisations seeking to empower, educate and ignite change, Heather shares compelling insights drawn from decades of business, activism and global humanitarian work. Her powerful message – that “even the impossible is possible” – resonates with audiences across corporate, educational and charitable platforms.
Heather’s early life was marked by hardship and transformation, most notably following the amputation of her left leg after a road traffic accident in 1993. This life-altering event catalysed her switch to veganism and laid the foundations for her entrepreneurial mission. Her recovery journey led to the founding of VBites, a company that has since become a global pioneer in plant-based meat, dairy and fish alternatives. With a commitment to both personal health and planetary sustainability, Heather built her empire from a desire to make nutritious, ethical products accessible to all, and in doing so, became a leading voice in the plant-based revolution.
More recently, Heather has expanded her ventures to include V-Omega3, a sustainable vegan algal oil brand, and B@One, a cruelty-free vegan makeup line. Through her VBites Ventures portfolio, she supports emerging plant-based start-ups including M!lkman and Beau’s Ice Cream. While these achievements are significant, she considers her greatest impact to be in the charitable realm. As founder and patron of 'Adopt A Minefield', she has helped clear over 21 million square metres of landmines. She is also a champion for amputees worldwide, having launched clinics and raised hundreds of millions for disaster relief efforts. On top of this, Heather continues to excel as an athlete, holding multiple world records and gold medals in skiing disciplines.
Heather is frequently invited to speak not just because of her remarkable achievements, but because of her ability to inspire action and hope in others. Whether addressing sustainability, innovation or personal resilience, she speaks from lived experience with authenticity and energy. Her talks are deeply motivating, leaving audiences empowered to create positive change within themselves and the world.
