Sophie Power

Social impact entrepreneur and famous ultramarathon running mother, Sophie Power, is a passionate speaker on health, business, achieving your goals, endurance, and the idea of ‘managing to juggle it all’.

A mum of two young boys and now a baby girl, she has combined motherhood with co-founding a successful technology company as well as competing in ultra-marathons and working on social impact projects from clean air and womens’ health to post-quantum cryptography.

Already a successful investor with a career in finance, inspired by wanting to protect her children, Sophie co-founded Airlabs to give people clean air to breathe in polluted cities. Airlabs developed groundbreaking technology to remove the harmful gases from diesel fumes.  As well as launching a consumer product, the Airbubbl, she created high profile clean air installations across London and worked with the media to raise awareness around air pollution and to campaign for change.

Sophie also unexpectedly gained additional fame in the global media for her extraordinary long-distance exploits.

In 2018, while taking part in the 170-kilometre Ultra Trail du Mont Blanc, Sophie was photographed breastfeeding her three month old son at an aid station, becoming an overnight media hit and viral sensation.  Sophie’s astonishing feats of endurance, as well as managing a career, triggered a global debate on the nature of modern motherhood and inspired millions of women.

Sophie shares her ideas, insights and experience speaking on a range of subjects, from thinking big about science-fiction scale technology for social good, building a business, to sustainability and positive impact, achieving personal success, pushing your limits, women in business and parenting today.
