Ellie Kildunne
Build championship-level resilience with Ellie Kildunne MBE, speaker and Olympic rugby champion. Ellie works with organisations to develop peak performance mindsets and breakthrough leadership strategies, delivering World Rugby Player of the Year expertise.
Ellie Kildunne MBE is an Olympic rugby player and World Rugby Women’s 15s Player of the Year who combines exceptional versatility with game-changing impact on the pitch. Her trademark speed and agility have made her a cornerstone of England’s Red Roses.
As a Harlequins Women star and Team GB Olympian, Ellie has established herself as rugby royalty. Her nine tries during the 2024 Six Nations earned her Player of the Championship honours before representing Great Britain at the Paris Olympics, showcasing her mastery of both rugby formats.
Off the field, Ellie continues to inspire the next generation through her collaboration with Mattel as part of Team Barbie, a global initiative celebrating female athletes who champion confidence and inclusion in sport. Her role as a visible, authentic role model encourages young girls to believe in their strength, individuality, and potential to succeed.
Ellie’s unique ability to break defensive lines and create scoring opportunities addresses the critical challenge organisations face in today’s competitive landscape: finding exceptional team members who consistently deliver results under pressure. Her journey from being the only girl on her childhood team to international stardom demonstrates the power of persistence and adaptability in overcoming barriers.
Audiences leave Ellie’s presentations with practical strategies for building resilience through adversity, techniques for maintaining peak performance across changing environments, and inspiration to challenge conventional limitations.
Book Ellie Kildunne MBE to inspire your team with authentic insights from someone who transforms challenges into championship-winning opportunities.

To book Ellie Kildunne, email ellie.kildunne@getapeptalk.com or call PepTalk on +44 20 3835 2929 (UK) or +1 737 888 5112 (US), and one of our speaker agents will contact you within hours to confirm Ellie's availability and speaking fee. If you can, please include your budget upfront – it helps us fast-track your request. It’s also helpful to know the date, format (virtual or in-person), location, and about your audience.
No. PepTalk adds no booking fee, so you pay the speaker's fee and nothing beyond it. The service, from shortlist through to contracts and event-day logistics, is included. For repeat or multi-event bookings, PepTalk can agree preferential rates with your procurement team.
Share your event date, audience, format, objectives and budget, and PepTalk sends a hand-picked shortlist within 24 hours. Each suggestion comes with a profile, a fee and a recommendation on the strongest fit. Once you choose, PepTalk handles contracts, travel and logistics through to event day.
The typical fee range is the speaker's standard in-person fee in their home market, shown in their local currency. It moves with format, location, date and session length: virtual sessions and shorter slots usually cost less, while international travel and peak dates cost more. Send your brief to PepTalk and the team will confirm the exact fee in your currency.
Not all of them, and it makes no difference to your booking. PepTalk's network of 15,000+ speakers covers talent the team works with directly alongside speakers represented by agents and agencies worldwide. PepTalk approaches the speaker, negotiates the fee and handles contracting either way.
Three to six months ahead is comfortable for most events, and 12 months is better for large conferences, peak-season dates or one specific in-demand speaker. Shorter timelines are workable, and PepTalk regularly fills last-minute and replacement bookings within days. Availability is the constraint, so get in touch as soon as you have a date.
