Holly Branson, the eldest child of Richard and Joan Branson, has emerged as a significant business influencer, blending her medical background with a deep commitment to social and environmental causes. Holly's journey began with a dream of becoming a doctor, a dream she realised by earning degrees in medicine and physiology. However, her path took a turn when she joined the Virgin Group in 2008, stepping into a role that would leverage her unique perspective to drive meaningful change across various Virgin companies.

As the Chief Purpose and Vision Officer at Virgin, Holly stands at the forefront of promoting an ethos of responsibility and innovation within the business world. Her leadership extends to her role as Chair of Virgin Unite, where she champions social and environmental initiatives, and as the Founder and Trustee of Big Change, a charity focused on youth empowerment and education reform. Holly's approach is holistic, emphasising not just business success but also the wellbeing of people, communities, and the planet.

A notable achievement in her career was her instrumental role in Virgin Management and Virgin StartUp's commitment to the Better Business Act. This initiative underscores her dedication to reshaping company law in the UK, advocating for a legal framework that obliges businesses to prioritise their people, communities, and environmental stewardship.

Holly's influence extends beyond the corporate sphere through her authorship. In 2018, she co-authored "WEconomy: You Can Find Meaning, Make A Living, and Change the World" with Marc and Craig Kielburger, which became an international bestseller. The book encapsulates her vision of a business world where financial success and social impact are not mutually exclusive.

Beyond the boardroom, Holly is known for her adventurous spirit and commitment to challenging herself physically. Her feats include climbing Mont Blanc and participating in record-breaking marathons, all while using these endeavours to raise funds for Big Change.

Residing in London with her husband Freddie Andrewes and their three children, Holly balances her professional pursuits with her family life. Despite her busy schedule, she remains accessible for speaking engagements worldwide, sharing her insights and inspiring a new generation of socially conscious business leaders.
