Jess Meredith

Jess Meredith is a dynamic diversity and inclusion speaker recognised for her pioneering work in neuro inclusion and social impact. A passionate advocate for embracing different ways of thinking, Jess is known for delivering engaging, thought provoking talks that spark meaningful cultural change. As the founder of Differing Minds CIC, she has become a leading voice in neuro inclusion strategies, helping organisations, educators and communities understand how to create environments where neurodivergent people can thrive. Her ability to translate complex ideas into relatable insight has made her a highly sought after keynote speaker.

Jess’s early career spanned data, marketing, consulting and technology roles across both start ups and global corporations. Alongside leading new revenue generation and contributing to large scale cost saving initiatives, she consistently championed inclusion projects within every organisation she joined. She built and accelerated internal networks focused on belonging, equity and representation, long before neuro inclusion became a mainstream conversation. Her professional journey was deeply influenced by personal experience, including parenting neurodivergent children and recognising her own neurodivergence in adulthood. These experiences reshaped her perspective and strengthened her commitment to challenging outdated narratives around difference.

As her advocacy grew, Jess became a recognised thought leader in neuro inclusion across workplaces and education. She has delivered keynote speeches at major international conferences and worked with educational institutions to design and implement neurodiversity training programmes. Jess has also provided strategic advice to policymakers, contributing insight to discussions around neurodiversity in education. Through Differing Minds, she has developed practical resources for businesses, schools and families, including educational video content that introduces primary school children to neurodiversity in an affirming and accessible way. Her work has earned national recognition, including nominations for major diversity awards and endorsements from prominent public figures.
