Joanne Anderson
Trailblazer and agenda setter
If you’re looking for a speaker able to influence collective thinking, how about a woman who was named alongside Vivienne Westwood and Meghan Markle in Vogue’s 2021 ’25 List’ - a catalogue of those women who are “defining and redefining the way we live now”?
Liverpool’s first female mayor and the first black woman to be a directly elected mayor in the UK, Joanne Anderson is recognised as one of the country’s most influential agenda-setters.
A born and raised Liverpudlian, Joanne has an academic background rooted in research, with a degree in Business Studies and an MBA in Business Studies underway at Liverpool John Moore’s University.
Joanne is a passionate and engaging speaker on matters of race and gender equity, social enterprise and impact, politics, community engagement, inclusive prosperity, and the environment. Her strategic approach to tackling structural inequalities, addressing investment, innovation, and resilience has earned her a glowing international reputation.
