Book IWD Speaker: Nikki Bhamra

Former Senior Crime Investigator & Human Behaviour Expert who helps to empower women to break bias, unlock potential & thrive as influential, fearless leaders

Nikki Bhamra is an award-winning international speaker, former Senior Crime Investigator, and Human Behaviour Expert who rose through the ranks in one of the most male-dominated professions in the world.

Over a two-decade career investigating serious organised crime and human trafficking, she navigated entrenched bias, broke barriers, and earned board-level leadership positions in environments where women were often the exception, not the norm.

Today, Nikki draws on her lived experience at the frontline of high-stakes investigations to inspire and empower women to rise with confidence, challenge assumptions, and thrive as influential, fearless leaders.

Her story demonstrates what is possible when resilience, clarity, and courage come together - and she now equips others with the tools to unlock their potential and build high-trust, high-performing cultures.

As a keynote speaker, Nikki blends forensic insight with practical leadership lessons, helping organisations recognise blind spots, ask better questions, and create workplaces where women not only belong but excel.

Her message is clear: breaking through bias is not just about changing systems - it’s about empowering women to claim their space, use their voice, and lead boldly.
