Ashleigh Plumptre OON | Keynote Speaker

As an Officer of the Order of the Niger (OON) and a standout defender for the Super Falcons and Al-Ittihad, Ashleigh Plumptre brings a rare, human-centric perspective to the global football stage. Beyond the pitch, Ashleigh is a transformative speaker dedicated to shifting the industry’s focus from transactional metrics to the power of human connection.

Her talks challenge the traditional "performance-at-all-costs" narrative, instead exploring the vital intersection of Self-Awareness and Team Culture. By championing Vulnerability as a leadership superpower, Ashleigh empowers organizations to Redefine Success—moving beyond trophies to prioritize character, resilience, and long-term community impact.

As a Global Ambassador for Mission 89, Ashleigh is a leading voice in the fight against sports trafficking. She utilizes her "Be True" philosophy to advocate for the protection of young athletes, ensuring they are seen, heard, and supported as whole humans rather than just assets. From the boardroom to the training ground, Ashleigh’s mission is clear: to build an industry where integrity is the ultimate foundation for excellence.
