Katie Piper

Katie Piper OBE is a bestselling author, television presenter, and founder of the Katie Piper Foundation, a charity she built following her own experience of surviving an acid attack in 2008. The charity has become the UK's only provider of a complete rehabilitation pathway for burns and traumatic scarring survivors. Katie's recovery, marked by over 110 operations and pioneering surgical procedures, led her to waive her right to anonymity and share her story publicly. Her Channel 4 documentary Katie: My Beautiful Face, drew more than 3.3 million viewers and was nominated for Best Single Documentary at the BAFTA Television Awards in 2010. Katie has authored six books and has built an extensive career in broadcasting, presenting across Channel 4 and BBC Radio 2. She also serves as a regular panellist on ITV1's Loose Women. In 2022, Katie was appointed OBE for her services to charity and victims of burns and disfigurement. Katie's talks draw on her own journey from trauma to purpose, offering audiences an honest account of how she rebuilt her life physically, emotionally, and psychologically. She has spoken for organisations including Google, L'Oreal, the NHS, Johnson & Johnson, Royal Mail, and Simpson Thacher & Bartlett, consistently earning exceptional feedback. Audiences leave Katie's sessions with practical tools for maintaining a positive mindset through adversity, a deeper understanding of resilience as something built rather than born with, and a renewed perspective on the challenges they face in their own professional and personal lives. Book Katie Piper to give your audience a talk they will carry with them long after the event ends.
