Shivani Uberoi is an expert in diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), recognised for her work in creating workplaces where everyone can thrive. Drawing on her personal experiences as a British Asian woman in a traditionally male-dominated industry, Shivani’s story is one of resilience, transformation, and commitment to driving change.
Shivani began her career in finance, where she was one of the few women of colour in the room. Rather than conforming to the status quo, she worked to change it, founding two successful employee networks that grew to support over 7,000 members. With over a decade at Sky, she interviewed renowned personalities including Caitlin Moran, Katie Piper, and Robert Webb, establishing herself as a skilled communicator and thought leader. Her initiatives at Sky UK enhanced the company culture and contributed to multiple award wins.
As the founder of The Wallflower Academy, Shivani has coached and inspired more than 5,000 individuals to develop their authentic selves and lead with confidence. Her expertise in human behaviour and neuroscience underpins her approach, which is both practical and engaging. A certified coach specialising in wellbeing, she has designed and delivered impactful programmes for organisations such as PepsiCo, WalkMe, and Virgin Media O2.
Shivani’s ability to connect deeply through storytelling has made her a sought-after keynote speaker. Her 2023 TEDx talk, Why Fitting In Will Screw You Up, resonated widely and set the stage for her forthcoming book, Unmasking the Workplace, due for publication in 2026. Through her consultancy, Shivani advises organisations on fostering inclusion and belonging, with a particular focus on gender equity, ethnic minorities, and working parents. Known for her warm and candid delivery, she offers actionable insights that inspire meaningful change.
