Internationally renowned author, inspirational speaker, and TV presenter
Founder of the Katie Piper Foundation, supporting individuals with burns
BAFTA-nominated documentary 'Katie: My Beautiful Face' with 3.5m viewers

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.

The Answer To Happiness

Maintaining a positive mindset when life or business pushes back is one of the hardest — and most commercially valuable — skills any team can develop. Katie Piper draws on her own experience of rebuilding her life after catastrophic injury to explore what genuine resilience looks like in practice. Through her own story of physical and emotional recovery, Katie surfaces the internal tools, support structures, and shifts in perspective that helped her move from rock bottom to a life she describes as more fulfilled than she ever anticipated. Honest, warm, and deeply human.

Why we recommend booking Katie

Katie's authority comes from lived experience; her story is deeply profound and one that stays with you long after she leaves the stage. What sets Katie apart is her combination of honesty and warmth. One client reported that "you could hear a pin drop" amongst their audience of 400 teenagers.
