Speaker

Faith speaks regularly across universities, institutions, and innovation-led platforms, including engagements at Imperial College Business School, London College of Fashion, and the University of Westminster (in partnership with Accendere). Her keynote work spans themes of ethical systems design, regenerative models, cultural intelligence, and founder-led leadership.

Her perspective is informed by hands-on work across global supply chains and cultural platforms, from sustainability-focused collaborations with global brands to creative and costume design contributions for internationally recognised stages. Faith’s work has been recognised by institutions including the Mayor of Los Angeles, KPMG UK, Village Capital (in partnership with the Visa Foundation), and Imperial College Enterprise Lab.

Across all her speaking engagements, Faith offers audiences more than inspiration — she provides clarity, frameworks, and lived insight into how organisations can move beyond intention toward impact that is accountable, culturally intelligent, and built to last.

Speaking Engagements

As a keynote speaker, Faith Natalie Ibrahim offers four core focus areas, drawing on founder-level experience across global supply chains, culture, and ethical systems design. Her talks are grounded, systems-led, and designed to resonate across academic, corporate, policy, and cultural platforms.

Designing Ethical Systems in a Globalised World


Exploring how ethics, climate responsibility, and accountability can be designed into systems, rather than retrofitted through policy or marketing. This keynote challenges performative sustainability and offers a practical lens on integrity, decision-making, and long-term value creation across global organisations.

From Extractive to Regenerative: Rethinking Global Supply Chains


Using fashion and cotton supply chains as a case study, this talk examines how extractive models persist and how regenerative, seed-to-stitch approaches can reshape relationships between producers, brands, and consumers, particularly across the Global North and Global South.

Founder-Led Leadership: Building with Integrity Under Pressure


An honest perspective on decision-making as a founder operating under real constraints. This talk addresses confidence, restraint, ethical trade-offs, and why building differently can become a long-term strategic advantage rather than a liability.

Culture as Infrastructure: Why Narratives Shape Systems


A deep dive into culture as a force that determines visibility, value, and legitimacy. This keynote explores how storytelling, identity, and representation influence markets, leadership, and whose knowledge is taken seriously, particularly in global and post-colonial contexts.
