Gill Whitty-Collins

Gill Whitty-Collins spent 26 years with Procter & Gamble (P&G), latterly as Senior Vice President, running leading global brands such as Olay, Always and Pantene. 

She was born near Liverpool, to a Scouse Catholic family, the youngest of 3 sisters. After attending the local comprehensive school, a love of language and steely determination took Gill to study Modern & Medieval Languages at Selwyn College, Cambridge University. 

Upon graduating and with a baby son in tow, she joined P&G, where she quickly progressed through the ranks, earning a reputation as a world-class Brand Architect and Business Renovator. Gill thrived in the highly competitive business environment and her success in business saw her move swiftly up the career ladder to Marketing Director, General Manager and finally Senior Vice President. This was when she started to see the impact of gender diversity issues on women and their careers, and saw that it is affecting and defeating talented women everywhere. She wrote WHY MEN WIN AT WORK…and how we can make inequality history  to share what she experienced, witnessed and learnt about gender equality as a woman in senior management and her story and vision will resonate with people, whatever their gender, wherever they are working and inspire you to join the force to make inequality history. 

Gill now works as a Keynote speaker, NED, Consultant, Trainer & Executive Coach.
