Oliver Cookson will take part in a special keynote Q&A session, offering an in-depth and personal perspective on his journey as an entrepreneur, innovator, and thought leader. Born and raised in Manchester, Oliver’s story is one of grit, vision, and determination launching Myprotein from his spare room with a £500 overdraft and growing it into a global nutrition powerhouse. Since exiting the business, he has continued to evolve, applying his entrepreneurial mindset to sectors including wellness, technology, real estate, and philanthropy. This conversation will explore Oliver’s reflections on building from the ground up, navigating fast-paced growth, and adapting to change across multiple chapters of his career. He’ll speak openly about the mindset required to lead with resilience, the power of taking risks, and the importance of continually learning — even after achieving significant success. Key themes of the session will include long-term entrepreneurship, personal development, leadership, wellness, and innovation. Oliver will share his views on how nutrition and wellbeing influence not only performance and focus, but also how we make decisions and lead others. He’ll also explore the growing influence of artificial intelligence — from its disruptive potential in business to how it might redefine the entrepreneurial landscape in years to come.
